Summary/Abstract |
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy has been credited with more achievements than the NDA government’s policies to turnaround the Indian economy. What is so distinctive about his foreign policy? Has he blazed a different trail from his predecessor, Dr Manmohan Singh? Economic diplomacy is a forte they have in common. Both enjoy their foreign travels. During his first year in office, PM Modi visited 17 countries and spent 53 days abroad. This is not very different from Dr Singh’s frequent flyer miles during UPA-11 when he visited 12 countries and spent 47 days outside

Summary/Abstract |
The overarching objective of the three India-Africa Forum Summits since 2008 is to develop a new architecture for a structured engagement between India and Africa. They constitute a vital platform to engage with Africa at regional, sub-regional and bilateral levels. Our bilateral relations closely approximate the modern concept of development compact that is based on shared responsibility and helping one another meet their developmental goals. This compact is more South-South than North-South as it entails mutual gain, non-interference, collective growth opportunities and indeed an absence of loan conditionalities.

Summary/Abstract |
India is making a determined bid to secure its sphere of influence in South Asia and Indian Ocean to counter the growing role of China in the region. This is the biggest challenge on the economic diplomacy front for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, rightly, believes that having a good neighbourhood is a universal aspiration. Nowhere is this more evident than in South Asia, which has more the half the world’s poor and one-fourths of its population.

Summary/Abstract |
The coronavirus has struck India together with 212 other countries with millions of people infected around the world. Every day the count is steeply rising of affected. Indians despite one of most stringent nation-wide lockdowns in the world. If the first 100,000 cases of infection in the country took 110 days, the next 100,000 took only 14 days! If the viral contagion is not contained in the coming months, it portends a public health emergency.

Summary/Abstract |
For India’s energy security, the good news is the continuing weakness in global crude prices as it imports 80 per cent of its requirements. As the world’s fastest growing economy, it has burgeoning requirements for oil and gas from West, Central Asia and elsewhere, as domestic production has sharply declined. Brent crude prices have averaged $53 a barrel in 2015 and will be at the same levels in 2016 as well. Although the NDA government has not fully passed on the benefit of cheaper crude to consumers at the pump it must ensure supplies of cheap oil and gas for the Indian economy.
