Abstract

Foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has witnessed a significant transformation, marked by proactive diplomacy, strategic partnerships, and a focus on India’s global image. Modi’s leadership has emphasized strengthening bilateral relations with major powers, enhancing regional cooperation, and promoting India as a key actor in global governance. His government has adopted a multi-dimensional approach, balancing economic diplomacy, security concerns, and cultural outreach through initiatives like Act East Policy, Neighbourhood First, and Digital & Diaspora Diplomacy. This analysis explores the major trends, strategies, and challenges of India’s foreign policy under Modi’s tenure, highlighting the balance between traditional priorities and emerging global imperatives.
