India and the World
India's aim in foreign policy has always been to secure for itself a
steadily broadening role in international affairs, so that we can
contribute meaningfully to the global community's collective ability to
deal with the challenges of today and tomorrow. The NDA Government
is proud of its foreign policy achievements in the last five years. We will
build on these successes to focus on the following objectives in the
coming five years.
1) Continue the dialogue process with Pakistan for a lasting
solution to all the outstanding issues, including Jammu & Kashmir, on
the basis of the Joint Statement issued in Islamabad in February 2004.
2) Further strengthen the SAARC process; implement free-trade in
South Asia; and work towards realizing the vision for a South Asian
Economic Union with a common currency for the region.
3) Further strengthen our Look-East Policy to deepen the India-
ASEAN relationship; initiate the BIMST-EC process; activate the
Mekong-Ganga cooperation initiative; deepen our economic
cooperation with Koreas; and enrich our strategic partnership with
Japan.
4) Further consolidate our strategic partnership with Russia, with a
stronger underpinning of economic cooperation.
5) Broaden and deepen our multi-dimensional relations with USA.
6) Expand our economic cooperation with China. Continue the dialogue
process with China to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution of the
boundary issue, which is an objective of strategic interest for us.
7) Intensify our cooperation with the European Union.
8) Rejuvenate our traditional bonds with countries in West Asia;
9) Reestablish our age-old ties with countries in Central Asia;
10) Develop extensive relations with all countries in Africa, Central
America, Latin America, and Pacific Ocean countries like Australia,
New Zealand, Fiji, etc.
Energy security will continue to be a key objective of our foreign policy.
Therefore, we will intensify our efforts to establish suitable alliances to
secure access to new energy sources around the world.
The NDA Government envisions a future that rests on a cooperative
multipolar world order, with India as one of the poles.
We will continue our efforts to secure permanent membership of
the UN Security Council.
The NDA is proud of the shining achievements of NRIs and PIOs
around the world. We attach great strategic importance to
strengthening India's multi-dimensional links with the Diaspora
Community. Our Government took many historic initiatives in this
direction in the last five years for example, granting dual citizenship to
PIOs from a select group of countries. Our commitment to this deeply
cherished cause will continue.
