From March 18–20, 2027, New Delhi becomes the epicenter of global strategy, #geopolitics, and #geoeconomics As the old structures of international cooperation shift, the world looks toward new ideas, bolder partnerships, and the powerful voice of the Global South. Raisina Dialogue 2027 is coming! The dialogue is set. The stage is ready. Are you listening? 🗓️ Save the Date: 18–20 March, 2027 📍 Location: New Delhi, India 🌐 Hosted by: @MEAIndia & @orfonline youtube.com/watch?v=Sy86BnSF… #RaisinaDialogue2027 #Raisina2027

A company’s real climate footprint mostly lies in its supply chain, not its own operations. For food and farming firms, that means the farm. Supply chains are where #climate claims should be assessed: @BardhanArya, @shoba_suri, Nitin Rao, Kritika Banerjee, Sjoerd Panhuysen, & Sumit Roy.

29 squadrons against an authorised 42. The #IndianAirForce’s most urgent challenge is not ambition but numbers. The Air Chief’s call to induct 36–40 fighters a year is the minimum needed to arrest decline, not an aspirational target. @ProfHarshVPant explains why numbers must come first 👉or-f.org/40778 #AirPower #Defence

Three priorities can help #India avoid #Indonesia’s experience: make technology transfer a condition of incentives, measure domestic contributions to engineering and process technology, and diversify processing partnerships. Resource ownership is a precondition for influence, not a guarantee of it: Veer Puri or-f.org/40748 #CriticalMinerals

A common #BRICS currency would require members to reconcile divergent economic priorities. Linking payment systems offers a more practical alternative: financial cooperation without surrendering monetary sovereignty. India’s #UPI could play a key role: Sauradeep Bag or-f.org/40762 #DigitalPayments

Extra-large uncrewed undersea vehicles (#XLUUVs) will not make submarines obsolete, but they can disperse risk as machine-learning-assisted sensing erodes the dark ocean’s refuge. Taking on the “dull, dirty and dangerous” missions lets crewed submarines conserve stealth for deterrence and high-end combat: @mutuneer & Deepshi Grover or-f.org/40793 #UnderseaWarfare #MaritimeSecurity

Defence Minister #RajnathSingh’s visit to #SriLanka, the first by an Indian defence minister in 38 years, produced three MoUs. It signals that New Delhi and Colombo are moving beyond historic political reservations to broaden defence cooperation: @gs_aditya or-f.org/40794 #India #IndianOcean

As the 1996 Ganga Water Sharing Treaty approaches expiry in 2026, #India and #Bangladesh must reconcile competing water claims and historical grievances. Its renewal will test whether diplomacy can deliver equitable, sustainable river governance: @SohiniBose13 or-f.org/40847 #GangaTreaty #WaterSecurity

#Delhi’s suspended fuel ban on older vehicles shows that broad support for #CleanAir does not guarantee consent for every measure. Without compatible databases and enforcement systems tested across the wider region, even well-intentioned environmental measures will fail on implementation, inviting public backlash: @dddorf or-f.org/40850 #UrbanTransport #Mobility

Sovereign ratings can make #ClimateFinance costlier for the countries that need it most. Guarantees and concessional finance can ease capital scarcity, but not mispricing, which calls for better climate-risk data and rating methodologies that recognise borrowing for resilience: @manini_garg or-f.org/40859 #SovereignRatings

#Iran’s grip over the #StraitOfHormuz has weakened, but its ability to disrupt maritime traffic remains significant. Alternative routes, #US naval escorts and degraded Iranian capabilities have constrained Tehran’s control—but not eliminated its leverage: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40007

The next maritime generation is bringing digital fluency, clean-tech innovation and fresh ambition to the ocean economy. At #Sagarmanthan2026, Union Minister @sarbanandsonwal, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways @shipmin_india, joins @ParulBakshi_ in conversation on “The Future is Blue: The Next Maritime Generation.” Watch. youtu.be/GY5Woi2qDls #BlueEconomy

#China’s carrier ambitions now hinge on more than ships. #Beijing is building a permanent pipeline of pilots, instructors and specialist crews to sustain carrier operations at scale: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40083

The #US is turning sanctions into an instrument of #economic warfare against Iran. #OperationEconomicOutcast seeks to cut #Tehran off from the financial and commercial networks that sustain it, expanding pressure beyond Iran to third-country firms and intermediaries: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40209

Xi Jinping’s visit to India for the 18th #BRICS Summit on 12–13 September marks a managed thaw, not a strategic reset. After years of mistrust, #India and #China are seeking ways to manage competition and prevent escalation: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40303

The new #US–#Denmark–#Greenland security agreement expands American military access in the Arctic without changing Greenland’s sovereignty or constitutional status. Signed at the #UN General Assembly, it amends the existing 1951 defence framework and allows expanded US operations: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40425

For #India, the #US–#China summit leaves room to pursue strategic interests without being locked into a new #Washington–#Beijing compact. At the same time, the continuing China-plus-one shift could create opportunities in manufacturing and #electronics—if India can strengthen infrastructure, skills and competitiveness: @ProfHarshVPant or-f.org/40535

Can #IMEC move from infrastructure vision to operational corridor? Launched at the 2023 #G20 Summit in New Delhi, the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor has grown into a multi-route network. At #Sagarmanthan2026, Hervé Martel, Luisa Antonia Rodriguez Ortega (@UNCTAD), Marie-Estelle Rey (@OECD), Rajesh Kumar Sinha (@shipmin_india), @eli_bar_on and Niraja Shukla discuss the governance, digital interoperability and commercial architecture it needs. Moderated by @aezrahi Watch. youtu.be/rSdkyT8tJ1Q?si=IHbF… #MaritimeTrade

Can the #US maintain its #military edge over #China? From autonomous warfare to new approaches to defence technology and procurement, #Washington is seeking to adapt its military for a rapidly changing battlefield. But political priorities are increasingly shaping the reform agenda. @ProfHarshVPant & @viveksans explore the tensions. or-f.org/40619

India’s regulators do not derive their legitimacy from a foreign billionaire’s approval. @ProfHarshVPant argues New Delhi must stand firm on #Starlink. Market access in a strategic sector like satellite communications must rest on compliance and security, not Elon #Musk’s public pressure: or-f.org/40749 #Satcom #India
