SUMMARY:Delhi Dialogue VIII: ASEAN-India Relations: A New Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Concept Note\nDelhi Dialogue is an annual Track 1.5 forum for discussing  politico-security\, economic and socio-cultural issues between ASEAN and India.  Since 2009 when the conference was first held\, Delhi Dialogue has emerged as an  important forum at which political leaders\, policy makers\, researchers\,  academicians\, business leaders and media persons converge for brainstorming on  a range of issues pertaining to ASEAN-India relations.  \n  The ASEAN-India  relationship is one of the cornerstones of India’s foreign policy and Act East  policy\, which has deepened across the three pillars of politico-security\,  economic and socio-cultural cooperation. The recently concluded 13th  ASEAN-India Summit and 10th East Asia Summit in November 2015 in Kuala Lumpur\,  Malaysia\, have defined a dynamic trajectory for ASEAN-India relations. The  formalization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) would also need a new  approach towards India’s engagement with ASEAN.\n \n  Keeping this  context in mind and as India moves towards completing 25 years of its dialogue  relationship with the ASEAN region\, Delhi Dialogue VIII is appropriately themed  “ASEAN-India Relations: A New Paradigm”.   \n  The key themes of  ASEAN-India relationship today will be highlighted in the Inaugural Session and  its two panel discussions (with Indian and South East Asian leaders  participating) relating to Connectivity and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).  \n          Delhi Dialogue VIII  will also provide a larger canvas for the business leaders and the business  community of both sides to share their vision for a more robust economic  engagement between ASEAN and India. \nDay 1: 17 February 2016 -Business Session\nPlenary Session I: Co-Manufacturing: Creating Manufacturing Value  Chains (FICCI) \n          There is a renewed  focus on the manufacturing sector in India\, especially with introduction of the  “Make in India” initiative. India and ASEAN have immense potential in terms of  creating regional value chains that act as a driver for regional economic  integration. The ASEAN-India FTA which was initially limited to trade in goods  has been expanded to include the agreement on trade in services and investment  with effect from 1 July 2015. Manufacturers and businesses\, both in India and  ASEAN\, are yet to fully capitalize on the existence of this Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement. This session would discuss the nuances of co-manufacturing  within India and ASEAN\, with particular focus on identification of goods\,  services and FDI sectors with complementarities between India and ASEAN. It  would also identify barriers to co-manufacturing and suggest ways to surmount  them.  \nPlenary Session II: What Do Mega Trade Blocs-RCEP and TPP Mean for  ASEAN and India? (CII) \nOngoing negotiations for regional trading agreements involving  ASEAN member states including the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership  (RCEP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)   has the potential to alter the regional trade architecture. Responding  to the emergent institutional architectures require greater strategic planning  and implementation. This Session would examine how the FTA between ASEAN and  India would be impacted under the broader RCEP and TPP frameworks and offer a  blueprint of how Indian and ASEAN Trade and Commerce entities should calibrate  their market strategy and manage internal reforms in order to be able to take  maximum benefit from these emerging trade blocs. \nPlenary Session III: Infrastructure  and Sustainable Energy for Realizing India ASEAN Economic Integration (ASSOCHAM) \nAt the 13th ASEAN-India Summit on 21 November\, Prime Minister\,  Shri. Narendra Modi\, had invited ASEAN member states to participate in the  launch and also to join the International Solar Alliance (ISA) of 122  solar-rich countries. In the backdrop of the launch of this alliance on 30  November in Paris\, amidst global climate change concerns\, the need for  developing and using sustainable energy is acutely felt. This session would explore  the potential of co-production of renewable energy (wind power\, solar power\,  biomass\, hydropower\, biofuels\, etc.) and use of clean technology\, a broad base  of processes\, practices and tools\, in any industry that supports a sustainable  business approach\, including but not limited to pollution control\, resource  reduction and management\, end of life strategy\, waste reduction\, energy  efficiency\, carbon mitigation and profitability. \nPlenary Session IV: Promoting Cross  Border Trade with ASEAN: Capitalising on Comparative Advantage (ICC)  \nBoth India and ASEAN have sectors with  significant competitive edge including energy\, transport and logistics from the  view of ASEAN’s investment into India and engineering services\, education and  tourism services for Indian investment in ASEAN. The establishment of the ASEAN  Economic Community is another milestone in the regional economic integration  agenda of ASEAN. The Session would cover several aspects of ASEAN-India trade  and investment relations\, identify new frontiers in trade and investment\, and  discuss the way ahead for enhanced trade and investment cooperation between  ASEAN and India. \nPlenary Session V: ASEAN-India Cooperation in Start-ups (AIAI) \nIndia and ASEAN are seen as new growth areas for start-ups. ASEAN is  one of the most diverse and competitive regions in the world with countries  like Singapore\, Malaysia\, Philippines and Thailand attracting multinationals.  ASEAN has become a launch pad for start-ups\, the region now accounts for 38% of  Asia’s market for initial public offerings. Indian start-ups are growing  rapidly and India is home to more than 5\,000 start-ups across all verticals of  the industry involving technology companies and other sectors. The session aims  to frame the broad contours of an ASEAN-India ecosystem to facilitate the  convergence of technology\, integration across diverse fields\, distributed  architecture and people willing to back an idea. The discussions in this  session would deliberate upon Start-up Funding; Understanding the Market for a  Start-up / Branding and Marketing; ASEAN-India Digital Future; Role of State  and Regional Governments and Policies and Initiatives for encouraging  start-ups. \nDay 2: 18 February 2016 -Ministerial  Session\n          The Ministerial Session will be  attended by EAM\, Foreign Ministers of ASEAN countries and Chief Ministers of  North Eastern States of India. It will include speeches and two panel  discussions; viz. (i) Connectivity: Creating Pathways to a  Shared Future; and (ii) ASEAN Economic Community and India: Building Regional  Value Chains.  \nPanel Discussion I: Connectivity: Creating Pathways to a Shared  Future \n          Connectivity  is the focal point in the ASEAN-India Strategic Partnership. With completion of  the Motor Vehicle Agreement negotiation\, implementation of India  -Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway has progressed further\, thereby bringing  the two regions much closer to each other with the North Eastern region as the  pivot. The panel comprising Heads of Delegation from ASEAN countries and  the Chief Ministers of North Eastern States of India would deliberate upon: \n\n      Land Connectivity \nAir Connectivity\nMaritime  Connectivity: a more cooperative and integrated future for the  region through overall development of the ocean-based Blue economy. \nRole of  public-private sector participation (PPP) in connectivity projects           and creation of economic corridors to  leverage physical connectivity.\n Digital connectivity.\n\n  Panel Discussion II: ASEAN Economic Community and India: Integrating Regional Value Chains  and Production Networks  \n          To  integrate ASEAN and India fully into the global economy\, enhanced participation  in global supply networks as well as stronger value chains between them is crucial.  To effectively utilize the mega regional trade agreement such as RCEP\, a  connected ASEAN with India in terms of value chains therefore holds utmost  significance. This Session will be attended by senior leaders of ASEAN member  states and India\, who would attempt to identify the challenges for ASEAN and  India in integrating with regional and global value chains for creating  sustainable production activities\, technology intensive manufacturing and  knowledge intensive services. The session would also examine how to create  value chains by nurturing physical\, institutional and people-to-people  connectivity and the ways ASEAN member states\, especially the CLMV countries\,  would benefit from the integration of India into South East Asian value chains.  \nVote of Thanks by Mr Jayant Prasad\, DG\, IDSA \nDay 3: 19th February 2016 -Academic Session\nThe Academic Session will focus on  themes ranging from ASEAN-India and the Security of the Asia-Pacific\, including  the threat from extremism; the Ocean Economy Dynamics; Reinvigorating the  Civilisational Links; and the Way Forward for ASEAN-India Relations.  \n\n\nTime\n\nSession \n\n\n\n0900    hrs\n\nRegistration \n    Venue: Auditorium\, IDSA\n\n\n\n0930-0935    hrs\n\nWelcome    Remarks by Mr Jayant Prasad\, DG\, IDSA \n\n\n\n0935-0950 hrs\n\nKeynote Address by Secretary (East)\, MEA\,    Government of India   \n\n\n\n1000-1130    hrs\n\nASEAN and the Security of the Asia Pacific \n        Chair: Shri Nalin Surie\, Director General\,  Indian Council of World Affairs\, New Delhi \n        Speakers:  \n\nHRH Norodom Sirivudh\, Member of    the Constitutional Council\, Privy Counselor to His Majesty\, the King of    Cambodia\nAmb.
