India’s Foreign Policy in 2025: Navigating a Shifting Geopolitical Landscape

Amid global upheavals—from the Gaza conflict to the war in Ukraine—India’s diplomatic efforts will be crucial in addressing both regional and global crises while advancing its strategic interests. With new leadership coming into the White House and the European Union, pressure on its relationship with Russia, and a cautious thaw in Sino-Indian tensions, India’s strategy of multi-alignment will be tested on multiple fronts. In South Asia, political changes in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka also add layers of complexity to India’s neighborhood diplomacy.

Join the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) for an in-depth discussion on India’s foreign policy priorities for 2025. This conversation will explore the Modi government’s approach to managing its key international relationships, navigating regional dynamics, and addressing the broader geopolitical and geoeconomic opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

The virtual discussion, moderated by James Crabtree, TOY Senior Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute and Asia Society Switzerland, will feature: Farwa Aamer, Director of South Asia Initiatives, Asia Society Policy Institute, Akshay Mathur, Senior Director of the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Delhi office, and Ambassador Nirupama Rao, former Foreign Secretary of India.
