| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India has had both security and economic interests in the West Asian region, with energy security being a prime factor. Therefore, peace and stability in the region has been crucial to the Indian interests. However, being an emerging power globally, it is imperative that India deals with its significant partners in West Asia on its own terms. Indian foreign policy has seen a shift from ‘Link West’ policy to ‘Act West’ policy by building strong economic and security ties with most of the countries in the Middle East, and valuable defence and security cooperation with the regional actors. It is here that India’s relations with Iran assume importance. |
