Strategic Significance of Northeast India in India's Look East Policy

Country India
Abstract Northeast India occupies a pivotal position in shaping and operationalizing India’s Look East Policy, owing to its unique geographical location, historical linkages, and emerging economic potential. Sharing international borders with several Southeast Asian countries, the region serves as India’s natural land bridge to Southeast Asia, enhancing connectivity, trade, and people-to-people interactions. The strategic relevance of Northeast India lies in its role in strengthening regional integration through infrastructure development, the establishment of cross-border trade corridors, and the promotion of cultural diplomacy. Initiatives such as improved road, rail, and inland water connectivity, along with border trade points, have transformed the region from a peripheral frontier into a strategic gateway. Furthermore, Northeast India contributes to India’s security architecture by stabilizing border areas and countering geopolitical challenges in the eastern neighborhood. Thus, the integration of Northeast India into the Look East Policy framework not only promotes regional development and economic growth but also reinforces India’s strategic, economic, and diplomatic engagement with Southeast Asia, thereby advancing its broader foreign policy objectives.
Keywords Northeast India, Look East Policy, Regional Connectivity, India–Southeast Asia Relations, Strategic, Gateway, Border Trade, Infrastructure Development, Regional Integration, Geopolitics, Economic Diplomacy.
