The International Institute for Strategic
Studies (IISS), in association with Citi (formerly Citigroup)
is organizing the 1st Annual IISS-CITI India Global Forum in
New Delhi, India.
The India Global Forum is essential for
comprehensive strategic assessments of India’s rise as a great
power. It will discuss the key issues where economics,
business, politics and security converge, including India’s
search for energy security and stability, transnational
security challenges, and India’s relations with the great
powers.
This conference will bring together 200
leaders of government, business, academia, policy, media and
the armed forces from India and the world.
The India Global Forum will discuss
India’s new status and responsibilities as a rising great
power, the liabilities that India would have to accept to
perform such a role, and its wider impact on regional and
global stability.
On the eve of the conference the
delegates also met the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Speaking to group of delegates he said
that India has successfully followed strategy of
re-integrating into the world economy. Mentioning about the
liberation policy which was initiated in 1991 and which was
subsequently moved by successive governments till this date.
"We remain committed to economic reform
and liberalisation... in ancient India, a monarch was regarded
as a good king if he did not interfere too much in the life of
the people. That has been our guiding principle as well,"
Singh told delegates of the IISS-City India Global Forum
attending an international conference in New Delhi.
Gathering together key members of India's
elite with outside commentators and political actors from
North America, Europe, the Gulf and Asia, the India Global
Forum will provide a comprehensive strategic assessment of
India's impact on the world stage,' said Dr John Chipman CMG,
