The India-Indonesia Track 1.5 Dialogue: Innovation, Sustainability, and Multilateral Cooperation is a two-year initiative between Gateway House, Mumbai, and Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Indonesia, Jakarta to reflect the forward-thinking nature of the bilateral engagement and develop a strategic collaboration in the Indo-Pacific. Think tank experts, government officials, and business leaders will convene biennially to promote bilateral economic growth and innovation.
India and Indonesia have a comprehensive strategic relationship built on their ancient and modern histories, and a flourishing relationship sustained by trade, economic exchange and people-to-people contact. Both countries are expanding and there are new areas to explore for mutual benefit. They prioritise defence and security, energy, and the Indo-Pacific region. The Track 1.5 Dialogue is a suitable format for this. The Dialogue aims to provide policy recommendations to promote innovation and navigate evolving governance issues through bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
