India’s Approach to West Asia: Trends, Challenges and Possibilities
March 29-30, 2022

The Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA) has been organising its biennial West Asia Conference (WAC) since 2014. Over the years, this flagship event has dealt with a number of critical issues facing West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region including the paradigmatic shifts in the region’s geopolitics, the growing impact of ideological and socio-political movements, and the global, regional and intra-regional responses to the regional developments. The Conference has been an important platform for academics, analysts, policymakers and government officials to discuss issues of mutual concern and explore newer avenues for cooperation. Invitees, both institutions and individuals, stretching the vast expanse of WANA as well as other parts of the world, participate in the Conference to discuss issues in a free and frank manner.
