As of 2020, which of the following was the name of the Indian policy that aimed to strengthen ties with India’s neighbours in Southeast Asia?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The correct choice is: “Act East Policy”

The Act East Policy was announced by the Modi government in 2014 as an upgrade of the Look East Policy begun in 1991 under P.V. Narasimha Rao. It aims to deepen economic, strategic and cultural ties with the ASEAN countries and the wider Indo-Pacific, and it gives special emphasis to connecting India’s North-East with Southeast Asia (for example, through the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway).

“Non-Alignment Policy” was India’s Cold War-era foreign policy of not joining either the US-led or the Soviet-led bloc. “Panchsheel” refers to the five principles of peaceful coexistence agreed between India and China in 1954. “Doklam Diplomacy” is not a policy; Doklam was the site of a 2017 military standoff between India and China near the India-Bhutan-China tri-junction.
