GS-II (International Relations): India's West Asia policy must balance energy security, the large diaspora and trade ties with the Gulf against a fast-changing partnership with the US. Engagement through the India-UAE CEPA and high-level visits supports a multi-aligned approach; the way forward is to deepen economic and energy cooperation, safeguard diaspora interests and keep strategic autonomy amid regional tension.
