Jagannath Panda featured in the ISPI Experts Comment PIVOT TO ASIA
September 11, 2025: Dr. Jagannath Panda, Head of the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs, was featured in the Experts Comment in PIVOT TO ASIA at the ISPI titled “Parading the Alternative: Xi’s Message for a Chinese-led Future”.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the Tianjin SCO Summit reflects India’s determination to remain engaged with both China and Russia amid Eurasia’s shifting geopolitical landscape. Rather than aligning fully with Washington’s long-standing “China containment” strategy, New Delhi continues to pursue a pragmatic “China management” approach-seeking limited cooperation with Beijing while keeping channels open despite persisting border frictions.”
