Key discussion points:  1. India places significant importance on maintaining good relations with its neighboring countries, recognizing that the proximity and potential influence of these nations can directly impact India's interests. The "Neighbourhood First" policy is crucial for India's regional stability and security.  2. India's "Look West" policy focuses on maintaining strong ties with West Asian countries, which are historically significant, culturally connected, and crucial for India's energy needs. The Indian diaspora, especially in the Gulf, plays a vital role in these relations. 3. India aims to maintain friendly relations with major global powers, including recent engagements with Russia. However, China's influence and activities in the region are a concern for India.
