India`s Approach to West Asia: Trends, Challenges and Possibilities

  • Publisher: Pentagon Press
This volume provides perspectives of scholars from India and West Asia on several bilateral issues of concern, challenges and scope for further cooperation.

Furthermore, they have underscored that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s West Asia policy has undergone a major transformation.
