Reimagining the Indo-Pacific is brought to you by Kubernein Initiative in cooperation with the Policy Planning Division of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany. This limited podcast series is part of a joint project on exploring avenues to deepen Indo-German Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, with an approach that is rooted in Germany’s Feminist Foreign Policy vision and  India’s approach to inclusive policy-making.

Through the episodes, we bring diverse perspectives on aspects of emerging security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. We explore themes including trade, climate change, digitalisation, multilateralism, and focus on opportunities for  Germany and India to work together in safeguarding human security in the Indo-Pacific. We aim to reimagine the Indo-Pacific as we know it, and explore ways forward to shape more inclusive policies.
