Which of the following policies have stressed upon the importance of cultivating and sustaining India's relationship with its neighbouring countries?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Neighbourhood First
India’s Neighbourhood First policy gives its immediate neighbours the first place in its foreign policy, stressing close and friendly relations with the countries around India.
Note: None of the NCERT books — the pre-rationalised, 2023-24, 2025-26 or 2026-27 edition — mentions the Neighbourhood First policy, so this question is outside the NCERT books, and no NCERT extract is given.
