Every channel claims to be [...]

        Fiscal incentives and an investor-friendly climate make Spain an attractive investment destination in Europe, according to a senior Spanish official. India and Spain are two countries separated by more than 7,900 km, both are from different continents, speak different languages and, people may think, there is nothing in common between them. This is absolutely wrong. Spain and India have more things in common than general knowledge may presume. First of all, from a social perspective we share a strong family [...]

            India has finally woken up to tap the immense potential of its far-flung Northeast states but it would take time before it becomes the darling of foreign investors. Ask any average citizen on the road in mainland India the names and capital cities of the eight Northeastern states of the country and there is a high likelihood they would fumble and embarrass themselves. A popular joke in the northern parts of the country is that only an aspirant of the [...]

                Given the ambivalence of some ASEAN countries to China’s rise and Beijing’s hardnosed strategy of using its financial heft to buy influence across Asia, it is important for democracies like India and Japan to foster cooperation with Vietnam. It is not very often that New Delhi hosts the Prime Minister and the President of the same country within a span of five weeks. But that’s exactly what Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi did, inviting Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc [...]
