Vision

The vision is to extricateNorth East India from the domestic thinking of denoting it as the peripheral entity of the country to that of a regional focal point of integration of India with countries of South, East and South East Asia. The paradigm shift envisaged is the placing of the North Eastern Region at the centre-stage of the country’s planned rendezvous with the emerging giants of the ASEAN bloc. The Government of Assam feels that that requires the recalibration of foreign policy to develop the North East as a growth centre and a staging platform for the Act East Policy. This necessitates the adoption of a multi-ministerial approach and the active involvement of the State Governments of the region.
