Closed-Door Roundtable Dialogue on Reimagining the Indo-Pacific: Using an Inclusive Lens | 27 October 2023

In partnership with the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, Kubernein Initiative hosted a closed-door roundtable discussion on applying an inclusive lens to the Indo-Pacific region, in New Delhi.

Through the dialogue, participants put forth diverse thematic and country perspectives on topics related to human security in the Indo-Pacific in climate, energy, trade, energy, maritime relations, and related intersecting themes. Our aim is to explore ways forward for shaping more inclusive policies within the region, as well as learn from best practices that may be particularly relevant to Indo-German engagement within the region.The outcomes from this event will feed into our joint project on exploring avenues to deepen Indo-German Cooperation in the context of the Indo-Pacific using an inclusionary lens, which is rooted in Germany’s ‘Feminist Foreign Policy’ vision, and principles of an inclusive foreign policy from an Indian context.

On the sidelines of the round-table we launched the second edition of the report: Opportunities for a More Inclusive Indian Foreign Policy Edition 2 and two policy briefs: Reimagining the Indo-Pacific: Using an Inclusive Lens Policy Brief 1: Opportunities for Indo-German Engagement and Reimagining the Indo-Pacific: Using an Inclusive Lens Policy Brief 2: Implementing a ‘Feminist Reflex’ in Indo-Pacific Climate Policy
