Even on the last day of 2021, the Modi government is not worried about foreign policy. This is what the diplomatic experts are thinking currently. The question of how to deal with China is tarnishing such fragmented success. Throughout 2021, China has maintained its military arrogance in the Indo-Pacific region and on the Line of Actual Control with India. Despite India’s best efforts, the Chinese army did not return to its old post in East Ladakh. The land that had been India’s for so long could not be reclaimed even after many diplomatic and military meetings.
New Delhi started its counter-diplomacy with a bang. Which is basically the name of neighboring diplomacy. But after the second wave of Covid hit India in March, India was forced to stop exporting medicines in the middle. The question arose from other countries, why Bangladesh or Nepal was given so much assurance about the antitrust alliance without reviewing the situation?
One of the highlights of 2021 on the world map is the sudden announcement of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. As a result, the Taliban captured Kabul. Since August, blood pressure in India and the whole of India has been steadily rising.
The question is not only security but also economic. Many Indian investments in that country are now underwater. The fact is, there is no quick fix. To send aid to the Afghan people is to turn to Pakistan. On the other hand, it is clear that next year Islamabad will use the Taliban government in Kabul to increase cross-border terrorism.
