India on June vowed to work towards building a "peaceful, stable and economically inter-linked neighbourhood" but made it clear that export of terrorism must end for the relationships to grow, an apparent reference to Pakistan.
President Pranab Mukherjee, while outlining the agenda of Narendra Modi government, said India will also engage energetically with other neighbours like China as well as the USA, Japan, Europe and rest of the world to fully realise the full potential of the country's "soft power".
The modi's government will pursue international engagement based on "enlightened national interest", combining the strength of the country's values with pragmatism, "leading to a doctrine of mutually-beneficial relationships", he said.
"My government is committed to building a strong, self-reliant and self-confident India, regaining its rightful place in the comity of nations," Mukherjee said.
