India conducted the BIMSTEC Young Leaders' Summit as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comprehensive 21-point strategy for regional strengthening. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized the importance of youth participation as essential for comprehensive regional progress. More than 80 emerging leaders from member nations gathered in Guwahati between September 9 and 11. Assam Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya opened the conference, which was coordinated by the Bharat Scouts and Guides.
Participants engaged in entrepreneurship workshops, design thinking sessions, and collaborative cultural programs across three days. The summit promoted 21st-century leadership qualities focused on resilience and diversity responsiveness. Leaders developed communication abilities, created social business models, and established lasting professional relationships. The event highlighted Northeast India's role as a developmental corridor connecting the Bay of Bengal territories.
This initiative supports India's Neighbourhood First and Act East policies while advancing regional cooperation goals. Modi originally presented his 21-point framework during the sixth BIMSTEC Summit in April in Thailand, demonstrating India's commitment to revitalizing multilateral partnerships.
