Interactions between India’s state governments and other countries – especially in the economic domain – have witnessed an acceleration in the past two decades for several reasons – economic, political and geopolitical (this, phenomena is referred to as para-diplomacy). The focus of India’s state governments has been on drawing greater Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and several methods – including high level delegations going overseas for roadshows and Annual Investors Summits held in state capitals — have been used for the same. Several state governments have also been seeking to benefit from the Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) India has signed with other countries.
