‘Look West’: Engaging Strategically
The bilateral ties between New Delhi and the countries in the region were looked at from a buyer and seller perspective. Along with a market for oil buys and expatriate remittances by India, cultural amalgamation between the South Asian country and the Middle East also increased. With Prime Minister Modi’s getting elected and coming to power in 2014, the ties improved further. The relations that were once restricted to simple trade and economic ties, the ‘Look West’ policy focussed on improving its relations with the regional powers such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran or the UAE. From, 2016 to 2019, P.M. Modi was honoured with awards from Bahrain, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Also, in 2019, OIC invited India to be the Guest of Honour at the 46th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers in UAE, which established a secure sense of relationship, trust and credibility.
