This episode is a recording of a public event held on Thursday, April 24 at the Hennepin County Library in downtown Minneapolis. For the first time since COVID, Global Minnesota hosted our Great Decisions foreign policy conference on the topic India's Rising Influence. The event offered critical context on an important region of the world just as tensions flared once again between India and its neighbor Pakistan. Thanks to the generous support of the Foreign Policy Association for making this event possible. This episode concludes our series on the 2025 Great Decisions Conference with a lively presentation on India’s foreign policy, the Quad alliance, and nuclear nonproliferation by local expert and RAND analyst Raymond Kuo.
