India’s Diplomacy in Integrating Regional Infrastructure and Its Implication for China

Abstract

In recent years, the Modi government has taken an active role in integrating regional infrastructure, participating in the geopolitical game in South Asia and the Indo-Pacific through infrastructure diplomacy and promoting development cooperation in the Global South. This paper examines India’s intentions and actions in integrating regional infrastructure. It also explores the prospects and impacts in the context of Modi 3.0’s shift to a ‘Bharat first’ foreign policy.
