Challenges in India’s Neighbourhood; Modi in Lumbini; Sheikh Hasina’s Offer; and Biden in Asia

ORF PolicyPod

India is committed to helping Sri Lanka during its worst times of economic and political distress. India is playing a crucial role in assisting the island state from destabilising and reviving its economy. The new leadership in Pakistan has a very tough challenge ahead. We see a rising anti-China sentiment in Balochistan, which has been at the heart of CPEC. As we look towards the east, our north-east has to be the bridge that connects India to South East Asia. In light of this, Sheikh Hasina's offer is in line with the sentiment. Biden's visit has given a message that Washington's focus is not entirely on Ukraine and Europe, it does not intend to leave the Indo-Pacific alone. In the latest episode of “The Ideas Factory”, Naghma Sahar, Senior Fellow at ORF, and Harsh V. Pant, Director of Studies and Head of Strategic Studies Programme at ORF, analyse Challenges in India’s Neighbourhood; Modi in Lumbini; Sheikh Hasina’s Offer and Biden in Asia. #PMModi #SheikhHasina #JoeBiden #HarshVPant #NaghmaSahar #IdeasFactory #ORFIdeasFactory #ModiinLumbini #Lumbini #Nepal #BidenInAsia #Asia #India For More ORF Podcast Click Here: www.orfonline.org/podcasts/
