As the Indo-Pacific region becomes increasingly significant amid rising geopolitical and geo-economic uncertainties, understanding India’s role as a rising power and economic powerhouse is more crucial than ever. While Canada-India relations have faced diplomatic challenges, a deeper exploration of their bilateral ties and partnerships in the Indo-Pacific is essential. As Ottawa recalibrates its relations with friends and adversaries on the global stage, it also seeks to expand and diversify its engagement in the Indo-Pacific. This event, featuring renowned strategic affairs expert and India’s foremost scholar on geopolitics and foreign policy Dr. C. Raja Mohan, will explore the complexities of contemporary geopolitics, Canada-India relations, and their shared role in the Indo-Pacific.

Dr. C. Raja Mohan is a former Director of the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, where he currently serves as a Visiting Research Professor. He is also an Adviser to the Council for Strategic and Defense Research in »ÆÆ¬ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Delhi and was the founding director of Carnegie India. Additionally, Dr. Mohan established the Asia Society Policy Institute in »ÆÆ¬ÀóÖ¦ÊÓÆµ Delhi. His research focuses on Asian geopolitics, Indian foreign policy, and the global governance of emerging technologies. A prolific author, he has written several books on these topics and regularly contributes foreign policy columns to major Indian and international outlets.
