A major theme at the multilateral summits this month was connectivity, with China at the forefront. India is trailing behind due to a shortfall in investment and political will, among other factors. Prime Minister Modi must follow up on his meetings at the SAARC Summit by robustly taking forward India’s connectivity agenda
The 18th SAARC Summit begins exactly six months to the day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony and nearly all the SAARC leaders were in attendance. Neelam Deo, Director, Gateway House, comments on PM Modi's 'neighbourhood first' policy and his role in reinvigorating the grouping.
Infrastructure connectivity, which was the buzzword at the APEC Summit in Beijing and the East Asia Summit in Myanmar, was also an important feature on the agenda at the 18th SAARC Summit in Nepal. Ambassador Neelam Deo, Director, Gateway House, analyses how connectivity can be a driver of change in South Asia.
