India Trilateral Forum

For more than a decade, the India Trilateral Forum (ITF) has been the leading platform for identifying key areas of shared interests and differences between U.S., European, and Indian policy makers, strategic thinkers, and business leaders. In addition to influencing policy, a key goal of ITF is to build networks. ITF relies on a core group of participants who maintain a continuously evolving dialogue over time, allowing for frank exchanges, as well as new and emerging voices. Over the years ITF has helped foster a strong India policy community on both sides of the Atlantic, introducing generalists to important policy discussions about and with India. It has also emerged as an important venue to identify specific policy challenges and develop shared approaches to solving them.

ITF convenes biannually, bringing together senior representatives from government, media, business, and academia, along with top strategic thinkers from the United States, India, and Europe, for frank conversations on a wide range of economic, foreign policy, and security issues.

GMF's partners in this initiative are Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace India. The previous edition was with Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Observer Research Foundation America.
