Episode 248: Decoding India’s Foreign Policy in Modi 3.0

In this episode, we delve into the foreign policy outlook of India in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term. Unlike previous terms, PM Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured 240 seats, falling 32 seats short of the majority mark of 272. This shift means Mr Modi will need to navigate coalition politics for the first time in his career. In this episode of South Asia Chat, Mr Raghaw Khattri, Research Analyst, ISAS, is in conversation with our distinguished guest, Professor C Raja Mohan, Visiting Research Professor at ISAS and Non-Resident Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute in New Delhi, to explore the implications of this new political dynamic on India's foreign policy. Professor Mohan, a prominent commentator on India's foreign policy, will provide insights into the potential continuities and changes in the coalition government's approach to international relations, engagement with major powers like China and the United States and strategies towards neighbouring countries and the Middle East.
