UN General Assembly
2015

At the same time, we have started to reach out enthusiastically to all our partners in the international community. Our efforts have focused, first and foremost, on our immediate neighbourhood and the results have been truly transformational. We have also reached out to our extended neighbourhood, renewing ancient linkages and constructing modern economic partnerships, including, most recently, a summit with 14 Pacific island nations. Our Act East policy has replaced the previous one, Look East, with a more vigorous and proactive engagement in an economically vibrant region, and complements our Link West engagement. We remain committed to the Middle East peace process, which is key to preventing further radicalization of the region. We continue to hope that a solution can be reached to the Palestinian question. We have also qualitatively upgraded our relations with all the major Powers.
