Video and transcript from the panel discussion, "India's Relations with its Northeast Asian Neighbors," with scholars from the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University and the Brookings Institution’s India Center on Dec. 4, 2014.
This past May, India, a country of over 1.2 billion people, elected Narendra Modi, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the new prime minister, shifting leadership away from an incumbent party that held power for the past few decades. This new government, set in the context of shifting political and security dynamics, brings new challenges for dialogue in a region that sees unresolved border disputes and historical tensions, particularly between China and India.
What impact will India’s new leadership have in Northeast Asia? How do historical relationships continue to shape the present? What is the outlook for policy priorities between India and countries in Northeast Asia?
This event is Shorenstein APARC’s inaugural event in New Delhi.
