The India-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit and the East Asia Summit (EAS), both in Nay Pyi Daw, Myanmar, on Nov. 11 and 12, are among the major geopolitically significant gatherings of world leaders this month. These interactions will demonstrate if Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proactive engagements over the past six months, at the bilateral level and with BRICS leaders, have effectively improved global perceptions of India.
After Nay Pyi Daw, Modi will head to the G20 meeting in Brisbane, Australia, and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Kathmandu, Nepal.
