The importance of East Asia region is reflected in Government of India’s Act East policy that has made its relations with its East Asian neighbours a foreign policy priority. In economic terms, the region has Asia’s largest and most industrialized economies of China (GDP USD 11.2 trillion), Japan (GDP USD 4.9 trillion) and the Republic of Korea (GDP USD 1.4 trillion). The economic engagement with the region has been rising over the years with Japan being the 3rd largest investor in India with a cumulative investment of US$26 billion. We have witnessed high interest for investment in India from China in the last one year. Our trade and investment relations with Korea have also showcased a rising trend and we are now in the process of widening the scope of our trade agreement to further boost trade and investment.
