Question:

India's "Act East Policy" was initiated in which year?

Options:

2012

2013

2014

2015

Correct Answer:

2014

Explanation:

 The correct answer is Option 3 - 2014

India’s Look East transformed to Act East since 2014.

India’s ‘Look East’ Policy since 1991 has led to greater economic interaction with the East Asian nations (ASEAN, China, Japan and South Korea)
The transition from the "Look East Policy" to the "Act East Policy" was officially announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Myanmar in November 2014. This shift signified a more proactive and action-oriented approach in India's engagement with countries in the Asia-Pacific region. While the Look East Policy focused on building economic and strategic ties, the Act East Policy aimed to take more concrete actions to deepen cooperation and partnerships with the countries in the region.
