With new political leadership in Thailand, the India-Thailand bilateral partnership is set to evolve further. As both nations seek to strengthen strategic and economic ties, they are likely to focus on deepening connectivity via the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway (IMTTH), enhancing trade, and fostering people-to-people connections.
What are Thailand’s expectations from its new government? What areas of partnership might India and Thailand explore? Where does the IMTTH stand today? And what role can Thailand play in India’s Act East Policy, particularly in the ASEAN region?
Bringing together leading experts from India and Thailand, this event will unpack the present and future of Thai-Indian relations.
