MEA supports connectivity, energy, tourism and trade projects that benefit North East. Act East Forum with Japan makes a direct infrastructure contribution. Initiatives with Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal expand the reach of our North East,” he said.

Northeast India a gateway to Southeast Asia

The Modi government has made substantial efforts to promote and boost connectivity, education and security in the region.

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic vision of making Northeast India a gateway to Southeast Asia, the region is experiencing exponential growth in terms of development works.

The vision also includes a roadmap for making the Northeast secure, which means a comprehensive plan is needed to protect borders and working with the neighbouring nations to enhance security.
