The strategic, political and economic importance of Northeast for India’s Look East Policy cannot be overemphasized. It not only provides an opportunity to consolidate India’s relations with the near South East Asian countries, but it also holds immense potential for trade expansion and regional development for the North East of India within the framework of BIMSTEC, Mekong Ganga Project,K2K, and other initiatives. It has been often claimed that South East Asia begins in the North East of India. Geo-strategically North East India is therefore integral to the BIMSTEC initiative. As the current phase of India’s Look East Policy seeks to entrench as well as diversify India’s relations with the countries of East Asia, considerable attention needs to be paid to channelise the political-economic benefits towards the North Eastern Region.
