The Montreal International Security Summit was created in 2023 to address some of the most pressing geopolitical issues of our time. The aim of the annual summit is to convene Canadian and international experts to shed light on ongoing crises and to engage in constructive dialogue about the implications for global security and human rights. 

The conference brings together leading practitioners, policymakers, and thought leaders from around the world, all of whom share a common dedication to understanding and resolving contemporary and emerging challenges to human rights and security.

APF Canada's Vice-President Research & Strategy Vina Nadjibulla is speaking at this two-day event.

As the geopolitical and economic rivalry between the U.S. and China intensifies, India is positioning itself as a key manufacturing hub and is set to play a pivotal role in global supply chains. 

With the world’s largest population and its projected rise to the third-largest economy by 2027, India's growth is remarkable, though not without its challenges. 

Join us for a roundtable as we unpack India’s complex economic and security landscape and explore opportunities for partnerships in technology, trade, and innovation — both bilaterally and across the Indo-Pacific — engaging governments, the private sector, and civil society.

As the Indo-Pacific region emerges as the epicentre of global economic and security concerns amid intensifying great power competition, understanding India's role has never been more crucial. India is not only a counterbalance to China but also a rising power and an economic powerhouse. While Canada-India relations have encountered some diplomatic challenges, a deeper exploration of their bilateral relationship and partnerships in the Indo-Pacific is essential.

This event, featuring renowned strategic affairs expert Dr. C. Raja Mohan, will delve into the complexities of India's geopolitical ambitions, its bilateral relations with Canada, and its broader influence in the Indo-Pacific. The discussion is particularly timely as Canada, through its Indo-Pacific Strategy, seeks to deepen ties and expand engagement in the region, focusing on shared values such as sustainable development and a rules-based international order.

Dr. C. Raja Mohan is a former Director of the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, where he currently serves as a Visiting Research Professor. He is also an Adviser to the Council for Strategic and Defense Research in New Delhi and was the founding director of Carnegie India. Additionally, Dr. Mohan established the Asia Society Policy Institute in New Delhi. 

His research focuses on Asian geopolitics, Indian foreign policy, and the global governance of emerging technologies. A prolific author, he has written several books on these topics and regularly contributes foreign policy columns to major Indian and international outlets.

This event will be concluded with the launch of Prof. T.V. Paul’s new book: The Unfinished Quest: India’s Search for Major Power Status from Nehru to Modi (Oxford University Press, 2024). Introduced by Christoper Neal, President, CIC Montreal.
