Source<\/strong>: The post is based on an article \u201cDiplomacy for Viksit Bharat\u201d<\/strong> published in the Indian Express<\/strong> on 16th<\/sup> August 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syllabus: <\/strong>GS 2 International relations; Bilateral relations Multilateral relations etc.<\/p>\n

Relevance: <\/strong>Foreign Policy<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The Prime Minister of India has outlined a new ambition to make India a developed country, \u201cViksit Bharat<\/strong>\u201d, by 2047.<\/p>\n

What are significant changes that will be needed in the Indian foreign policy tradition to become a developed country?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) There is a need to overcome the residual legacies<\/strong> of Partition<\/strong> that continue to undermine Delhi\u2019s geopolitical position.<\/p>\n

(a) India must prioritize deterring the dangers from across the Western frontier<\/strong> until Pakistan is ready for a productive relationship with India.<\/p>\n

(b) Resolve the problems left over by Partition on India\u2019s North-western frontier, like the settlement of the boundary dispute with Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

(c) Push for connectivity, trade ties, and security partnerships with its neighbors.<\/p>\n

(d) Work towards strengthening regional<\/strong> and trans-regional institutio<\/strong>ns in South Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n

(2) Address the China challenge,<\/strong> like the growing power gap<\/strong> with China. India-China border disputes started in 1962 and continue to happen even at present, like in 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2020. China has leveraged the divisions within the Subcontinent to constrain India, like CPEC in Pakistan. India\u2019s engagement in the extended neighborhood is being challenged by China due to its increasing presence. China has been asserting itself across Asia to make a \u201cunipolar Asia<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

(a) The Indian government must secure frontiers, retain India\u2019s regional position, strengthen India\u2019s manufacturing sector, improve domestic technological capabilities, and produce more weapons at home.<\/p>\n

(b) Build stronger partnerships<\/strong> with other major powers. India\u2019s policy of strategic autonomy <\/strong>is not a hindrance to it because all countries practice strategic autonomy to the extent they can. Partnerships should be based on negotiated mutually beneficial terms. <\/strong><\/p>\n

(3) If India becomes a $3-trillion economy<\/strong>, its ability to engage with the other powers will improve along with the growth of its comprehensive national power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

(4) India must take global leadership <\/strong>in managing the enormous consequenc<\/strong>es of the unfolding technological revolution, stabilizing the economic order, and addressing the challenges of climate change and pandemics.<\/p>\n

(5) On its way to 2047, India has to continue its pursuit of multilateralism<\/strong>, at the UN, G-20, and WTO. India should make coalitions of like-minded nations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(6) India must look beyond the immediate neighborhood<\/strong> to more effectively engage with Africa, Latin America, and Oceania where Delhi\u2019s footprint remains light, despite some recent initiatives.<\/p>\n

Domestic Ingredients for making India a developed nation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promoting social justice, internal unity, economic modernisation, resilient political institutions, and deep bases of science and technology.<\/p>\n
