Future of India’s Relations with its Neighbors

India has long had a fraught relationship with its neighbors. The subcontinent has been the site of numerous wars and border disputes, and relations between India and its neighbors have often been strained. However, in recent years there has been a marked improvement in India’s relations with its neighbors.

The election of the Modi government in 2014 was a turning point for India’s relations with its neighbors. The new government made improved relations with India’s neighbors a priority and embarked on a series of initiatives to improve ties. These included holding regular summits with neighboring heads of state, increasing economic cooperation, and opening up the border for trade and movement of people.

As a result of these efforts, India’s relations with its neighbors have significantly improved. There is now greater trust and cooperation between India and its neighbors, and the region is more stable than it has been in many years. The future of India’s relations with its neighbors looks bright, and there is potential for further cooperation and integration in the years ahead.
