I convey my best wishes on the inaugural round of the Raisina Dialogue. Many important leaders and strategic thinkers from over 40 countries are visiting India for this Dialogue. I Iwould like to welcome them on behalf of the Government and the people of India. The Raisina Dialogue is a joint initiative of the Ministry of External Affairs and the Observer Research Foundation. Our objective is to create a forum in India where noted diplomatic thinkers and experienced practitioners can meet every year to discuss the pressing issues of the day. As globalisation binds the Indian society and economy ever more tightly to its external environment, our growth and progress will depend critically on what happens in other parts of the world. In turn, the world will also be impacted significantly by developments in our country, especially as India emerges as one of the major global centres. One of the key manifestations of this more interdependent world is the emergence of greater connectivity. The challenge of its creation in Asia has to take into account a compli- cated mix of opportunities and uncertainties. By focusing on international trends and developments from an Indian perspective, the Raisina Dialogue can help us all understand this evolving dynamic and benefit from it. I am confident that the deliberations of the Raisina Dialogue will contribute to our policies and practices over the course of the year. I look forward to the Dialogue and expect its con- clusions to reflect the collective wisdom of all its participants.

Conference booklet n 1-3 March 2016 n New Delhi 3 Message by Foreign Secretary of India

he need for an Indian platform that brings together diplomatic scholars and practitioners to take stock of strategic trends has been felt for some time. The Raisina TDialogue is part of one of our endeavours to fill this gap. The association of the Min- istry of External Affairs with this initiative is also in keeping with our approach in recent times to seek wider inputs for our policy making. This, in turn, reflects more confidence in India’s engagement with the world, which has manifested itself in many ways since 2014. A recent characteristic of our foreign policy has been its focus on promoting domestic development and modernisation by engaging foreign partners. Among its major priorities is the shaping of Asian connectivity, an exercise as important for economic efficiency as political influence. The absence of a settled security architecture makes this endeavour even more challenging. The threat of disruptions is paradoxically rising even as new outlines of cooperation form. This increasingly complex task requires exchange of views as it does bal- ancing of interests. Consequently, it is a particularly relevant theme for broad deliberations on a shared objective. India is today responsive to the expectation in the region and beyond that it would partic- ipate constructively in the key global debates and help shape their outcomes. The nature of connectivity in Asia surely ranks high in that regard. We are willing to rise to the challenge, but can undeniably benefit from the counsel and advice of friends and well-wishers. I see the Raisina Dialogue emerging as one of the forums for aggregating these perspectives and inputs for guiding our thoughts and actions. I would like to convey my appreciation to the Observer Research Foundation, which has shouldered the responsibility for organising the Dialogue. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to the participants of the Raisina Dialogue. I look forward to participating and ben- efitting from its proceedings.
