Event Report | India, UK, and the Indo-Pacific
The Takshashila Institution, in collaboration with the British Deputy High Commission, Bengaluru, co-organised a two-day event on India, UK and the Indo-Pacific on March 26-27, 2023.
The Indo-Pacific is at the heart of the churn in the world order. The region accounts for 65% of the world's population and nearly 50% of the global GDP. It is home to key trade routes, with nearly $3.5 trillion of global trade each year.
Given the significance of the Indo-Pacific, the event saw three themed panel discussions by experts who presented their views on the potential for India and the U.K. to partner across domains and shape the world order. Students and alumni from Takshashila also attended the event.
