The Delhi Dialogue, which is an annual Track 1.5 forum, provides an opportunity to discuss the full gamut of issues between India and ASEAN. The tenth edition of the Delhi Dialogue held in 19-20 July 2018 focused on the theme of strengthening India-ASEAN maritime cooperation. The maritime domain is of enormous significance for both India and ASEAN. As major trading partners, it is in the fundamental interest of both India and ASEAN that there must be a rules-based maritime order in the ocean. It was agreed that India and ASEAN should jointly deal with traditional and non-traditional threats posed to maritime cooperation. Yet another feature of the tenth edition of Delhi Dialogue was the role of India’s North East in the Act East Policy, and in this context, look at ways and means at forging connectivity with ASEAN. The tenth edition of Delhi Dialogue had this novel feature that a Roundtable on the above subject was organized with the participation of the Chief Ministers of North East India. Concrete proposals such as development of new airports in North East, completing connectivity projects and new projects involving ropeways and cable cars were discussed in some detail. The tenth edition of Delhi Dialogue also looked at strengthening India-ASEAN ties in the fields of trade, investment, technology, SMEs, e-commerce and tourism. All these ideas and proposals are worthy of note and further discussion with a view to expeditious implementation. The deliberations of the tenth edition of Delhi Dialogue under the overarching theme of “Strengthening of India-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation” are invaluable and will provide useful inputs for an excellent framework for future cooperation between India and ASEAN. Mohan Kumar Strengthening India-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation v Preface Prof. Sachin Chaturvedi Director General, RIS As is well known, RIS since early 1990s has been engaging in providing vital evidence-based research inputs for strengthening ASEAN-India economic integration. The ASEAN-India Centre set up, at RIS in 2013, has further been engaged in exploring various facets of ASEAN-India economic cooperation and deepening historical linkages in the context of India’s ‘Act East Policy’. The Delhi Dialogue was initiated at Tack 1.5 in 2009 to discuss all aspects of ASEAN-India partnership and find ways and means to strengthen it. It involves participation of policy markers, business and industry circles, diplomatic community, think tanks and members from academia to deliberate on various facets of ASEAN-India relationship. So far Ten Editions of the Delhi Dialogue have taken place. The theme of the Tenth Delhi Dialogue was “Strengthening India-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation” and it took place on 19-20 July 2019. It was organised jointly by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India; RIS; AIC at RIS; National Maritime Foundation (NMF), New Delhi; ASEAN Secretariat; Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA). The agenda of the Tenth Delhi Dialogue programme had the following important themes: Roundtable with Chief Ministers of North-East India, Role of North East in Act East Policy with ASEAN, Strengthening Socio-Cultural Links, India-ASEAN Partnership and Emerging Global Order, Development Cooperation: Strengthening the ASEAN-India Partnership, Maritime Cooperation: A New Framework for India- ASEAN Partnership, ASEAN-India Trade, Investment and Technology, Development Cooperation, SMEs and Regional Development, E-commerce and Digital connectivity, Tourism Cooperation and Building Smart Cities. The focus of the deliberations was on strengthening India’s ancient links with South East and East Asian countries and providing them added momentum and push, based on deepening linkages across the ‘Three Cs’: Culture, Commerce and Connectivity. Eminent experts also presented papers on different aspects of these themes. Strengthening India-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation vii The issues that were highlighted in the course of discussion included, among others: latest initiatives like regional connectivity schemes; Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project; speeding up the function of Land Custom Station at Zokhawthar in Champhai (Mizoram); operationalising of Sabroom-Chittagong connectivity; opening up of both road and rail routes; India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway; venturing into untapped areas of investment and industrial development in the North East; setting up of international universities; taking further the history of peace between India and South East Asia; mitigating rise of new trade protectionism to shape the global order to mark it as Asia’s century; looking at India as a new Global Value Chain Partner; importance of the health of ocean for sustainable maritime development; rules-based order and need to respect UN Convention of Laws of the Seas; identifying priority areas for working together for development cooperation; widening the Indo-Pacific collaboration; role of Indian Diaspora in promoting economic, social and cultural ties between ASEAN and India; scope and opportunities for stronger cooperation in SMEs and capacity building to promote entrepreneurship in the region; enabling digital connectivity between India and ASEAN; enhancing air connectivity for promoting tourism; and importance of policy initiatives as Swatch Bharat and Housing for All in building smart cities network in India and ASEAN. Accordingly, key recommendations have emerged that provide roadmap for strengthening all possible aspects of social, economic and cultural dimensions of ASEAN-India partnership. It also needs to be underlined here that during the intensive discussion at the Dialogue, it was also strongly reiterated that the North Eastern Region of India is the centre of gravity for strengthening ASEAN-India connectivity.

  • India's North-East Diversifying Growth Opportunities
    INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE India’s North-East Diversifying Growth Opportunities www.pwc.com/in 2 ICC - PwC Report Foreword To be socially, and economically sustainable, India’s growth story needs to be inclusive. However, the country’s north east has been experiencing a comparatively slower pace of industrialisation and socio-economic growth. Though the region is blessed with abundant natural resources for industrial development and social development, they have not been utilised to their full potential. The region has certain distinct advantages. It is strategically located with access to the traditional domestic market of eastern India, along with proximity to the major states in the east and adjacent countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar. The region is also a vantage entry point for the South-East Asian markets. The resource-rich north east with its expanses of fertile farmland and a huge talent pool could turn into one of India’s most prosperous regions. Yet, owing to its unique challenges, we believe that conventional market-based solutions may not work here, given the issues related to poor infrastructure and connectivity, unemployment and low economic development, law and order problems, etc. The government and the private sector need to collaborate and take the lead in providing solutions to these problems. More reform needs to be initiated in a range of areas, such as investment in agriculture, hydel power, infrastructure as well as in creating new avenues of growth through the development of vertically integrated food processing chains, market- linked skill development and cross-border trade. As multiple avenues for growth and development emerge, it is of paramount importance that the region, as a collective identity, embarks on a vibrant journey to realise the dreams of a better future.

  • Aviation Regulator DGCA on Saturday Suspended a First Officer of Spice
    1 Revue de presse du 29 aout au 13 septembre 2019 Mumbai: Aviation regulator DGCA on Saturday suspended a first officer of SpiceJet for three months for mishearing an Air Traffic Control clearance, due to which he gave incorrect direction to the pilot-in-command (PIC), causing runway incursion at Mumbai airport, said a source. "DGCA probe found that Atul Yadav, who was first officer on Surat-Mumbai flight on July 5, told the PIC that their plane was cleared by ATC to cross runway 14. The truth is the clearance was given to the IndiGo plane that was ahead of his plane," the source told PTI. The SpiceJet plane had the call sign SEJ2763. When the regulator issued a show-cause notice to Yadav on August 19, he responded by admitting his mistake and stating the incursion happened on July 5 because another plane with a similar call sign which was ahead of their plane had received the ATC clearance to cross runway 14, the source said. The aircraft ahead of the SpiceJet plane was of IndiGo and it had a call sign IGO063, the source said. 31/08/19 PTI/Business Today New Delhi: In the last 2.5 years, IndiGo Airbus A320 Neos have on an average seen one faulty Pratt & Whitney (PW) engines powering these planes being changed every week. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has in a RTI reply said 126 PW engines on IndiGo Neos have been replaced from 2016 to June 30, 2019. The almost once-a-week average of faulty engine replacement comes with 46 engines being replaced in calendar years 2017, 2018 each and 27 in the first six months of this year (remaining 7 in 2016).
