Our Assessment
The Neighbourhood First policy remains an active, ongoing framework, evidenced by rapid regional humanitarian response (e.g. Operation Brahma for Myanmar), development partnerships, lines of credit, connectivity projects and energy/grid links across the subcontinent. As an open-ended commitment to "continue being a trusted and responsible partner", it is being pursued continuously rather than completed, and regional relationships vary over time. Partial (ongoing).
