Summary: Foreign policy barely found mention during the election campaign of candidate Narendra Modi. Yet, during his first Two years in office Prime Minister Modi has emerged as one of the most dynamic leaders in the foreign policy realm. He has displayed a renewed sense of purpose and vigour with his participation in various bilateral, regional and multilateral summits. While economic engagement remains an important thrust of his foreign policy, he has also successfully used soft power, like promotion of democratic values, Buddhism, and yoga, and reached out to the diaspora to project India?s influence. By most accounts Modi?s government has had good two years. The major trust of Mr. Modi?s foreign trips and bilateral engagements so far has been to attract investment and technology by reviving stalled ties with strategically important countries, such as the United States and France, and energiazine decades-old neglected relationships with japan, Australia, Germany and Canada. His robust engagement led to Japan and France promising to invest 35 billion dollars and 2 billion euros respectively and the U. S.-India Business Council estimating 41 billion dollars investment in coming years. Chinese premier Xi Jinping?s September 2014 visit to India saw Beijing committing to invest 20 billion dollars in India over the next five years. Similarly, breakthroughs in agreements on civil nuclear cooperation with Canada and the U. S. further bolstered his foreign policy and economic agenda.
