Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 3 only
India’s Look-East Policy (1991-) aims to establish India as a significant player in East Asian affairs through deeper economic, strategic and cultural engagement (statement 1) and to revive long-standing civilisational links with South-east/East Asian neighbours (statement 3). The policy was not framed to fill a post–Cold-War ‘vacuum’, making statement 2 incorrect. Hence statements 1 and 3 only are correct.
