Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Act East Policy (AEP), launched in 2014, is a proactive diplomatic initiative aimed at promoting economic cooperation, cultural ties, and strategic relationships with countries in the Asia-Pacific region [2]. A key objective is to place significant emphasis on India-ASEAN cooperation within India's domestic agenda, focusing on infrastructure, manufacturing, and initiatives like 'Make in India' [1]. Furthermore, the policy prioritizes the North East of India, serving as an interface between the region and ASEAN to enhance connectivity and economic development [1]. While the policy promotes regional stability and peace through engagement with East and Southeast Asian nations, its primary defined objectives do not explicitly include 'promoting peace and amity with the neighbouring countries of Asia' as a core pillar in the same way as the specific Asia-Pacific and North East connectivity goals. The latter is a broader foreign policy goal rather than a specific AEP objective.
