| Summary/Abstract |
We live today in an interdependent world. The concept of the ‘Global Village’
is a part of India’s culture, and we see ‘Vasudeiva Kutumbhakam’ as a part of
our ethos. A country’s foreign policy contributes immensely towards its
progress and prosperity in a globalising village. This reinforces the idea that
the foreign policy of any country cannot be divorced from its domestic policy
and governance - the influence and outcome of each impact with equal measure
on the other

| Summary/Abstract |
Nearly six and a half decades after the above statement was made by Henry
Kissinger, it seems to be yesterday once more. Yet again, the nuclear world
seems to be standing on the threshold of being seduced by the utility of
counterforce capabilities. Nuclear deterrence by denial, or the projection of
an ability to fight a limited nuclear war, seems to be back in fashion. Such a
school of thought is known to have guided US nuclear strategy between the
1960s and the 1980s. But, the idea of being able to successfully fight and win
a nuclear war with another nuclear armed nation was pretty much abandoned
by the late 1980s. This transformation in thinking came about as a result of
many factors, but was facilitated, to a large extent, by the simultaneous
presence of leaders in the USA and USSR who thought more strategically
about nuclear issues

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent visit of the Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, as the chief
guest at India’s celebration of its Republic Day in January 2020 has given
a new impetus to India-Brazil relations. While a ‘strategic partnership’
had been formalised in 2006 (during the visit of the then Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh to Brazil), in the course of this visit, an Action
Plan was formalized to further strengthen that partnership.

Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), has projected

annual average growth rate of 3.4 percent for the next five years.2
The
RMT urges states to ‘adopt a multipronged approach’3
to address
shortcomings in port operations, and notes that ‘digitalization and automation
are transforming the shipping sector and requiring new skills’.4
Furthermore,
new technologies and innovations are offering ‘new opportunities to achieve
greater sustainability in shipping and ports, as well as enhanced performance

| Summary/Abstract |
The Tsai Ing-wen led Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government
re-launched the New Southbound Policy (NSP) in 2016. The NSP aims
at reviving and expanding ties with 18 targeted countries of South Asia
and Southeast Asia. The Chairman of the Taiwan External Trade
Development Council, James Huang, has said that India is the “jewel”
in the NSP. Consequently, the trade between India and Taiwan has
increased from US$ 5.32 billion in 2016 to US$ 7.05 billion in 2018
with a target of US$ 10 billion in 2020. Overall, the bilateral trade has
grown around 40 percent in two years. There are many complementarities
between the NSP and India’s Act East Policy. The trade dispute between
the US and China is yet another opportunity for India and Taiwan to
enhance their collaboration. With the re-election of Tsai Ing-wen, a
continuation of the ties and an additional robust policy to take forward
the bilateral relations is expected.
