These include the CII-Aspen Strategy Group India-US strategic dialogue, the Aspen Institute of India-China Reform School dialogue and the CII’s trilateral India-US-Japan dialogue. These dialogues serve as path-breakers for India’s relationships with major countries of the world in all spheres of policy.
