Look East Policy

Published On:

•Look East Policy, basically, aims to strengthen economic relations between India and Southeast Asia or East Asia mainly through trade, investment and regional cooperation. India wished to integrate into the region's buzzing economies through free trade agreements and joining regional multilateral forums such as ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations).

• In addition to economic ties, the policy emphasized stronger political and safe cooperation with the regional countries, especially within the context of China's growing power. India has tried to deepen its strategic engagement, especially with countries like Japan, Australia, and Vietnam in the wake of attempts to counter terrorism and maritime security.

•The policy also attempted to enhance sources of cultural exchanges and people-to-people contacts. India promoted activities intended to strengthen mutual understanding between the peoples of India and the countries of East and South East Asia, and furthered joint efforts in areas like tourism, educational exchanges, science, and technology.

Blue moon

• Since the lunar cycle is approximately 29.5 days, most months contain only one full moon, but sometimes during that month, there is another full moon, and then it is called a blue moon.

•Blue moons are relatively rare events that occur on an average of once in two or three years.

•A blue moon does not, in fact, appear blue. The term "blue" is merely idiomatic. The Moon usually appears as it normally would unless special atmospheric conditions, such as a volcanic eruption or a forest fire, make it blue by turning particles in the air blue.
