I write in the January Edition of the Diplomatist about the challenges and opportunities for India's soft power diplomacy.
The article is written in the context of the recent report released by the Standing Committee on External Affairs on India's soft power.

[The Diplomatist Magazine @The_Diplomatist]

The January 2023 edition of 'The Diplomatist' is out.

The edition focuses on India's G-20 and SCO Presidency, India's Hydrogen Mission, Indo-Maldives relations, and other topics of bilateral and multilateral importance.

⁦@hemanarang⁩: “The crucial difference between 🇨🇳&🇮🇳 soft power strategies lies in the role of the state. In the case of 🇨🇳, it is a deliberate state-led project while for 🇮🇳, it is a free-flowing entity deriving.. mostly from non-state initiatives.” https://t.co/xIEwIMDpFK

Attended the CII-EXIM India-Africa conclave over the past two days. Indeed a strong platform for the private sector to boost ties with their African counterparts.
