The rise of Asia has been one of the most consequential developments of the 21st century. As Asia reshapes the world, the region itself is undergoing a tumultuous transition. Renewed rivalry among the great powers, the rise of tensions among the regional powers, and the rethinking of the benefits of globalisation are dividing Asia and ending an extraordinary era of peace and cooperation.

Hon'ble Dr. S Jaishankar,
