Correct Answer: Southeast Asia


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Southeast Asia.

The "Look East" policy, initiated in the 1990s, was a strategic shift in India's foreign policy towards Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. It aimed to forge closer ties with countries in Southeast Asia and leverage the economic potential and geopolitical significance of the region.

The policy recognized the increasing importance of Southeast Asia as a hub of economic activity, trade, and investment. It sought to enhance India's economic engagement, promote bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, and deepen political and cultural ties with countries in the region.

The policy was later expanded to the "Act East" policy, emphasizing more comprehensive engagement with Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. It encompassed a broader range of areas, including defense and security cooperation, people-to-people exchanges, and strategic partnerships.
