India's foreign policy has undergone significant changes in recent years, impacting its relationships with other countries. Here are some significant changes and their impact:

• ‘Neighbourhood First’ Policy: India's neighbourhood outreach program has been a key component of its foreign policy to strengthen ties with neighbouring countries and promote regional cooperation. Post-COVID, India's efforts have resulted in an improvement of ties with neighbouring countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan.
• Strategic Partnership: India's deepening partnership with the US has had a significant impact on its foreign policy. The US sees India as a strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific region, resulting in closer US-India strategic cooperation, particularly on defence and counter-terrorism.
• ‘Act East’ Policy: India's approach towards Southeast Asia region has witnessed a shift towards more strategic and economic engagements. India's Act-East policy has led to signing of bilateral trade agreements, infrastructure projects, people-to-people exchange, and increased maritime security cooperation with countries like Japan, Australia, South Korea among others.
• Enhanced Ties with Middle East: Improved relations with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other GCC countries have been a significant outcome of India's foreign policy change. Additional collaborations with Gulf countries in areas such as energy security, counter-terrorism, and defense and aviation have also been established.
• COVID-19 Pandemic: India's active role in global cooperation and assistance during the pandemic has resulted in strengthening ties with other countries, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's approach of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (World is One Family). India sent essential medical supplies and vaccines to neighboring countries and extended its support to other nations, thus strengthening diplomatic ties and building trust among countries.

Overall, India's foreign policy has resulted in enhanced cooperation and partnerships, and improved relationships with neighbouring and other countries, thus increasing its influence and stature in the world stage. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted India's role as a responsible global player, instrumental in building stronger relationships with other countries.
