South Asian foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government

The Neighbourhood First policy of India is a core component of India's foreign policy. It focuses on peaceful relations and collaborative, synergetic co-development with its South Asian neighbours of the Indian subcontinent encompassing a diverse range of topics, such as economics, technology, research, education, connectivity (digital, surface and air transport, energy grid connectivity, logistic chains, etc.), the space program, defence security, and addressing environment and climate challenge.[1][2][3][4] This policy creates new avenues while leveraging to the existing regional cooperation initiatives such as SAARC, SASEC, BBIN, and BIMSTEC. It complements India's Look East policy focused on Southeast Asia and Look West Policy focused on Middle East.

The Neighbourhood First Policy was conceived by Narendra Modi as his foreign policy priority, in the early days, then-Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj played an important role,[5][6][7][8][9][4] was taken forward by former Foreign Secretaries and current Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar. These effort was supported by National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval, and several successive Foreign Secretaries.[10][11]
