Prime Minister Narendra Modi has returned to a historic third consecutive term in office – albeit with a weaker mandate. Modi 3.0 will encounter many opportunities and challenges as India strives to maintain a pre-eminent role in its neighbourhood and advances its geopolitical stature amid escalating great power competition.
Notwithstanding its developmental challenges, the country also seeks to harness its demographic dividend and become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027. Join us as we decode these and other complex issues and unpack how Modi’s diminished victory will shape India’s trajectory as a rising power.
Speakers:
Dr. Rahul Mukherji, Professor & Head of the Political Science Department, South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University
Dr. Aparna Pande, Research Fellow & Director of the India Initiative, Hudson Institute
Moderator:
Vina Nadjibulla, Vice-president, Research & Strategy, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada

Changing geopolitical environment and competitions among the great powers present new challenges for Mongolia’s pursuit of its third neighbour strategy, which aims to develop close political, economic, and cultural ties with developed democracies.
The purpose of this dialogue, which started last year focusing on Indo-Pacific strategies and Mongolia, is to create a platform for members of the academic and policy communities of Mongolia and Third Neighbours to exchange views on the changing geopolitical environment and critically review challenges and opportunities.
The first dialogue (June 2023) welcomed participants from Australia, Canada, France, Poland, South Korea, and the United States. This year's focus is on geoeconomics.
APF Canada's Vice-President Research & Strategy Vina Nadjibulla will be speaking at the event.
