Held
at: New Delhi
Theme:
"Asia: Regional and Global Connectivity"
The
Raisina Dialogue is an annual conference held in New Delhi, envisioned to be
India's flagship conference of geopolitics and geo-economics. The conference,
organized like the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, is held jointly by Ministry of External Affairs of India, and the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), an
independent think tank based in India. Its inaugural session was held from March
01 – 03, 2016.
The
conference name comes from Raisina Hill, the elevation in New Delhi, which is
the location of both the Government of India as well as the presidential palace
of India, Rashtrapati Bhavan, which inspired the design of the conference symbol.
The
2016 conclave focussed on Asia's physical, economic, human, and digital
connectivity and attempted to discover opportunities and challenges for the
region to manage its common spaces. The need for global partnerships to develop
common pathways in this century was also addressed.
This
two-day annual conference was structured as a multi-stakeholder,
cross-sectorial conclave, involving policy and decision makers, including
cabinet ministers from various Governments, high-level Government officials and
policy practitioners, leading personalities from business and industry, and
members of the strategic community, media and academia.
The
inaugural dialogue witnessed participation of more than 100 speakers from over
35 countries. Attendees of the inaugural conference included business leaders
from Kenya and other East African nations.
