BIMSTEC: Building bridges between south and south-east Asian countries - Bay of Bengal Initiative for

The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), created in 1997,
gathers together seven south and south-east Asian countries. BIMSTEC pursues economic growth for its members
through sector-driven cooperation. So far, the organisation has lacked regular impetus, holding only three summits to
date. However, the fourth summit is to be held in October 2016 in Goa (India), on the margins of the BRICS (Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit. BIMSTEC will thus have the opportunity to enhance its visibility and
boost ties with emerging powers. For India, membership of BIMSTEC is a key element of its 'Act East' doctrine. The
organisation increasingly provides a viable alternative to SAARC (the South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation), which is lagging behind due to strained relations between India and Pakistan. However, stronger
leadership is required from New Delhi for BIMSTEC to become a tool for enhancing economic growth and connectivity
among its members.

The internationally isolated regime of the Democratic Popular Republic of Korea (or North Korea) needs to build
consensus around the idea that, under the direction of a young dynamic leader, the nation's living standards have
improved amidst vivid economic and technological growth. North Koreans are often forced to contribute their free
labour to campaigns, as a way to attest their devotion to the nation and help make it stronger in the face of its external
enemies. Kim Jong Un's coming to power has helped modernise the image of the North Korean leadership. His sister,
Kim Yo Jong, has been put in charge of Pyongyang's Propaganda and Agitation Department. The regime is building a
nationalistic narrative that increasingly targets young people and elites while keeping information under strict control, in
a country whose population is today less inclined to believe in propaganda than in the past. The USA, South Korea,
and occasionally Japan, are the targets of bellicose North Korean rhetoric that has often had a destabilising effect on
the region. Anti-US propaganda has been a primary theme in Pyongyang's efforts to boost patriotic feeling, while the
duel with Seoul often resembles old-fashioned psychological warfare.

At the beginning of the century, the EU and India were growing exactly at the same path: how about today? Who is the
main trade partner of India: China or the EU? And would you ever think that the EU exports to India pearls and
precious stones more than electronic equipment? And how much is it easy to do business in New Delhi? Find the
answers to these and many more questions in our EPRS publication on ‘India: Economic indicators and trade with EU’,
part of a series of infographics produced in collaboration with the European University Institute's GlobalStat on the
world's main economies.

Domestic experience of natural disasters has made Japan a global leader in disaster risk reduction. Japan is now the
fifth largest donor of humanitarian aid, and Japan Disaster Relief teams are highly appreciated. On the eve of the
World Humanitarian Summit (WHS), Tokyo underlines the importance of strengthening coordination between
humanitarian and development assistance.

Resumen India has recently overtaken China as the world's fastest growing economy. The country has benefited from falling oil
prices and from an increase in foreign direct investment, due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies, with the most
visible tools branded schemes such as 'Make in India'. However, perceptions of real growth and other indicators point
to a less optimistic framework, while Modi is struggling against opposition in the Parliament to deliver major reforms on
labour laws, taxation and land acquisition.

Resumen Japan's budget is compiled by its Ministry of Finance based on estimates from other ministries and guidance from the
Cabinet, before being approved by the Diet. In Japan's parliamentary system, the executive is drawn from the majority
in the House of Representatives, the Diet's lower house, which generally prevails in budgetary matters over the upper
House of Councillors. However, bills for what are known as 'special deficit-financing bonds' require the approval of the
House of Councillors, which can delay the budgetary procedure if that house is dominated by the opposition.
Budget-makers are formally constrained by the 1947 Public Finance Act (PFA), Article 4 of which stipulates that the
government may only issue 'construction bonds' to finance investment in infrastructure, as opposed to covering
ongoing social security spending. This constraint is belied by two major, and interlinked, fiscal challenges facing Japan:
the increasing share of social transfers in the budget, which is connected to the ageing of the population and a
structural decline in Japan's economic capacity; and an ever-growing gross national debt that, at 246% of GDP, in
relative terms already dwarfs that of any other G7 nation.
Almost every year since 1975, governments have circumvented the strictures of the PFA by enacting a law
empowering them to issue special deficit-financing bonds, which have since grown to make up the lion's share of the
national debt. The current government, led by Shinzō Abe of the Liberal Democratic Party, has set out a plan to arrest
the growth in the debt pile by 2020.

Resumen After a lengthy, fraught parliamentary process, on 20 September 2015 the National Diet of Japan finally approved a
long-awaited reform of Japan's defence and security laws. Prime Minister Shinzō Abe’s determination won out against
opposition from within Parliament and the public. Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution has been reinterpreted:
Japan's Self-Defence Forces can now come to the aid of any ally which is under attack, in particular the US, which has
guaranteed Japan's security since the end of the Second World War. This change was one of a series of reforms and
initiatives, which included setting up a National Security Council, defining a national security strategy, adopting a law
on classified information and revising the Principles on Arms Exports. The guidelines for cooperation with the US have
also been revised. At the same time, Tokyo has begun to develop its military cooperation with other countries in the
region. The purpose of these reforms was to make Japan an 'active contributor to peace' in a regional context
overshadowed by Chinese ambitions and the growing nuclear threat from North Korea.

Resumen India has the world's third-largest armed forces in terms of personnel numbers. However, although India was also the
seventh-biggest spender on military equipment in 2014, the country has a problem of deficiency in equipment. India's
defence procurement is still dominated by imports, as the domestic industry is handicapped by inefficiency. New Delhi
is thus the world's largest importer of military equipment. Attempts in the past to reform the national security system
have also failed.

Resumen India, once a leader of the Non-aligned Movement, is now moving away from its non-alignment position. New Delhi
now maintains relationships in different configurations with a variety of countries for different purposes (such as within
the BRICS). India also increasingly engages in regional groupings. The South Asia Association for Regional
Cooperation (SAARC) is supposed to be the main tool for integration in the region, but bilateral tensions with Pakistan
have jeopardised its development. New Delhi is therefore shifting towards a sub-regional grouping within SAARC and
connectivity projects, such as the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation
(BIMSTEC) and the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor (BCIM-EC). These projects coincide with
the new 'Act East' policy, which builds on the previous 'Look East' policy, and whose key focus is represented by
relations with the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). By 2016 India will also join the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation, which is focused on non-traditional security cooperation between China, Russia and other
Central Asian countries. India has long lobbied for permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council, and
maintains a pragmatic approach when voting in the UN General Assembly. India is also a major contributor to UN
peacekeeping missions. In November 2014, India achieved a remarkable diplomatic success, when it negotiated with
the US the right to stockpile and subsidise staple foods for the poor – an agreement that unblocked the Trade
Facilitation Agreement within the World Trade Organization.

Resumen 'Build a strong, self-reliant and self-confident India': that was the 2014 electoral promise of the Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. He has not wasted time, and has immediately started to work on relations with New Delhi's immediate
neighbours and with the south-eastern partners through the new 'Act East' policy. Major powers have showed a
renewed interest in India. But while relations with Washington and other Western countries are promising, this has not
come at the detriment of New Delhi's traditional ties with Moscow. A mix of mutual interest and competitiveness
characterises relations with China. All this demonstrates how India's foreign policy is guided by the pragmatism
necessary to gain global status. Now that Prime Minister Modi has gained trust at international level, his next challenge
is to overcome internal resistance to the required major economic reforms to make India a global manufacturing hub.

Resumen SAARC was founded in 1985, and is an economic and geopolitical organisation of eight countries located in southern
Asia. However, the organisation has not advanced much in its three decades of existence, mainly because of the
historic rivalry between India and Pakistan. This tension has blocked initiatives on several occasions, including at the
November 2014 summit.

provide the political stability that could allow this 30-million-strong multi-ethnic country to develop its economy.

are often reported. Trade unions, when allowed, are unable to protect workers.
