| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since coming to power in May 2014, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has undertaken, through a series of high profile foreign visits as well as by hosting many foreign dignitaries, a dynamic and ambitious diplomatic campaign. This is aimed at making India a keystone of the emerging multipolar world order, keeping good and fruitful relations with all sides and promoting the country's economic and strategic interests, while raising its cultural influence and prestige. ASEAN, Australia, China, Israel, Japan, Russia, neighbouring SAARC nations, Pacific Islands states and the US have all been given special attention, though Europe so far seems to have taken a backseat in priorities. Major challenges facing the world community today are international Islamic militancy and the renascent Cold War between the West and a Russo–Chinese alliance. |
