India’s geopolitics and India-Gulf relations

From February 10-11, Gateway House hosted scholars from the Zayed Education Foundation, UAE, for interactive discussions on India’s geopolitics and India-Gulf relations. The sessions were led by Gateway House fellows Ambassador Anil Wadhwa, Amit Bhandari, Sifra Lentin, and Dr Ashish Bharadwaj. The discussions focused on emerging geoeconomics, the role of Mumbai as a financial centre, energy relationships, past and future trading routes, and ways for India and the UAE to further deepen bilateral ties.
