SUMMARY:11th IDSA-IPIS Bilateral Dialogue - Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA)\, in collaboration with Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS)\, Tehran is organizing a two day bilateral dialogue on 3-4 December 2015 at the IDSA. The forthcoming bilateral dialogue (11th in the series)\, will focus on “Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation”. \nConcept Note\nMajor developments are taking place in the geo-political landscape of the West Asian region. Amidst the great uncertainty\, the region has become the epicentre of the global attention. In past three years\, the conflict in Iraq and Syria have intensified\, the Yemen crisis continues to persist without any solution\, and violent activities of Daesh ( or IS) and its increasing influence beyond the West Asian region has become a major challenge. Besides\, Russia’s renewed interest and military intervention in Syria to fight Daesh has exposed the region to completely new situation reflecting the complexities of external interventions. The Iran-US détente has been a positive development in the region. However\, the future of Iran-US relations is not yet very clear. These new developments have exposed India and Iran to completely new set of challenges\, issues and conditions.  \nIndia and Iran have a long history of engagement. Over the past few years\, both countries have been struggling to manage their energy and economic ties under the shadow of the US and EU sanctions. The new regional situation is\, however\, much more amenable for constructive engagement between Iran and India. Iran’s improving ties with the US\, its growing regional profile\, and India’s deep desire to cement its ties with Iran offer great potential for enhanced cooperation between India and Iran. \nThese new developments demand a fresh look at the bilateral relations between India and Iran in the context of the regional geopolitical complexities. More importantly\, the current uncertainties in Afghanistan and Pakistan and increasing violence and upsurge of extremist forces like Daesh in West Asian region are not in the interests of India and Iran. These emerging new security challenges in the region demand India and Iran to jointly address these common challenges and work towards cementing their bilateral ties. Both countries are important regional actors and can play a significant role in maintaining regional security. \nIt is in this context that IDSA and IPIS have decided to host the 11th Bilateral Dialogue on the theme “Geo-Strategic Dynamics in West Asia: India-Iran Cooperation”. In past\, the IDSA-IPIS Strategic dialogues at Track II level have provided a platform for Indian and Iranian experts to exchange ideas on regional security and how they affect India-Iran bilateral relations. The dialogue will deliberate on the following issues over two sessions:  \nSession I: Changing Security Paradigm in West Asia and Afghanistan\nSession II: India-Iran Engagement after Nuclear Deal:  prospects and Challenges\nTentative Programme\nDay I – Thursday\, December 03\, 2015 \n1500-1505hrs: 	Registration & Tea  \n1505-1530hrs: 	Inaugural Session\nWelcome & Opening Remarks by Shri Jayant Prasad\, Director General\, IDSA\nRemarks by Dr Mostafa Zahrani\, Director General\, IPIS\nKeynote Address by Mr Gopal Baglay\, JS (PAI & STATES)\, Ministry of External Affairs\, Government of India. \n1530-1730 hrs: 	Session I: Changing Security Paradigm in West Asia and Afghanistan\nChair:  Dr Mostafa Zahrani\nSpeakers:\nShri Jayant Prasad\nDr Gholam Ali Chegnizadeh\nShri Sanjay Singh\nDr Mostafa Zahrani \nDay II – Friday\, December 04\, 2015 \n0945-1000hrs: 	Tea  \n1000-1300hrs: 	Session II: India-Iran Engagement after Nuclear Deal: Prospects and Challenges\nChair:  Shri Jayant Prasad\nSpeakers:\nAmb Mahmoud Moosavi Khameneh\nShri Dinkar Prakash Srivastava\nMr Mohammad Hossein Shojai\nDr Meena Singh Roy\nMr Mohammad Javad Shariati\nDr M.
