India’s premier conference on global affairs, the Raisina Dialogue, kicks off on April 25 with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the seventh edition in the presence of foreign dignitaries, including chief guest Ursula von der Leyen, the European Union Commission President. The conference is a joint venture of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and independent think tank Observer Research Foundation (ORF).
This year’s Raisina Dialogue is being held in person in New Delhi after a gap of two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. The theme is “Terranova: Impassioned, Impatient, and Imperilled”.
The three-day international conference assumes greater significance in the backdrop of the unfolding invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This also follows a flurry of high-profile visits to New Delhi over the past month.
