What is the Raisina Dialogue?
The Raisina Dialogue is an annual conference on geopolitics and geostrategy which aims to address issues affecting the global community. The event takes its name from Raisina Hill, which is used as a metonym for the seat of the government of India.
Since its foundation, the Raisina Dialogue has emerged as a leading global conference on international affairs featuring the participation of heads of state, ministers, journalists, academics and researchers from across the globe.
The first Raisina Dialogue was held in 2016, in which over 100 representatives from over 35 countries spoke on the theme, “Asia: Regional and Global Connectivity”.

As per a TOI report, the discussions will deliberate over five thematic pillars:
