India's Development Partnership Expanding Vistas
India's foreign policy is based on the principle of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"—the world is one family. Despite resource constraints, India shares its developmental experience and technical expertise with other developing countries as part of its commitment to South-South cooperation. India's development partnership is a mutually beneficial human-centric model based on trust, respect, sovereignty, transparency, and collaboration. This edited volume compiles views and papers presented at a seminar on India's Development Partnership, marking ten years of the Development Partnership Administration.
