Hosted Aparna Pande, research fellow and director of Hudson Institute’s Initiative on the Future of India and South Asia, with panelists Ambassador Vijay Gokhale, former Indian foreign secretary, and John Lee, senior fellow at Hudson Institute.

Will China’s sprawling Belt and Road Initiative succeed in connecting Asia’s economies? What are its strategic implications? Why is India the only major country in Asia that has contested BRI? Can India develop other options for connectivity in Asia given its own economic constraints?
