Asia | India Trilateral Forum

India Trilateral Forum

India Trilateral Forum is the leading regular dialogue between Americans, Europeans, and Indians involved in influencing, crafting, and implementing national and foreign policies. The Forum convenes government officials, intellectuals, media commentators, and business representatives from all three communities biannually for an intimate conversation on shared political, social, and economic objectives as well as the implications of India’s rise for the transatlantic community. GMF’s partner in this initiative is the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

India Trilateral Forum fulfills several functions:

Setting an agenda. India Trilateral Forum provides an important venue for identifying key areas of shared interest and disagreement between Americans, Europeans, and Indians. Sessions on such topics as terrorism, maritime security, and climate negotiations also help to introduce niche issues to a wider audience of non-specialists.
Building networks. The Forum allows participants from across countries, sectors, and issue-specific communities to interact with one another.
Fostering a transatlantic India policy community. The Forum introduces generalists to important discussions involving India and raises the profile of up-and-coming experts.
Advancing a common understanding of priorities and challenges. India Trilateral Forum helps participants identify specific policy challenges and share innovative approaches to solving them.

The wide variety of topics covered during the course of discussions have included: directions of India’s foreign policy, securing the global commons, cooperation on climate negotiations and energy security, the future of Afghanistan, relations with China, Indo-Europe relations, responses to the global financial crisis, engagement with Pakistan, maritime security and cooperation, Asian balances of power, shared counterterrorism lessons, international institution reform, Indian economic reforms, foreign direct investment flows, international trade negotiations, security dynamics in the Middle East, entrepreneurship and opportunity, the future of democratic governance, labor migration policies, and defense trade.
