The Raisina Dialogue is India’s premier conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, held annually in New Delhi since 2016. Organized by the Observer Research Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, this three-day event convenes global leaders, policymakers, academics, industry experts, and journalists to discuss critical international issues.
Each edition of the Dialogue features vibrant debates and collaboration on topics ranging from shifting geopolitical alliances, climate change, technology, economic security, and evolving global governance systems. This year’s Raisina Dialogue returns with the theme that captures the moment we find ourselves in: Saṁskāra – Assertion, Accommodation, Advancement. Saṁskāra is the inheritance of identity that enables civilisations to assert who they are, accommodate the difference and advance through refinement.
Over the years, the forum has gained recognition for its inclusive, multi-stakeholder character—bringing together diverse voices, including heads of state, ministers, strategic experts, and private sector leaders. The Raisina Dialogue continues to set the agenda for meaningful dialogue on pressing global issues, reflecting India’s growing role in the world.
Stay tuned for Raisina Dialogue 2026—fresh perspectives and new debates await!
