This conference aims to create opportunities for policymakers, scholars and researchers from India, Malaysia, and ASEAN to meet one another to discuss and put forward recommendations for promoting India-ASEAN relations in general, and their strategic, economic, and developmental partnerships in the emerging Indo-Pacific order, in particular.
