The stage is set for the 10th edition of Raisina Dialogue, which brings together ideas and thought-leaders in New Delhi. And, making this gathering of heads of state, policymakers, diplomats, economists, and thought leaders even more special this year is the Firstpost Ideas Pod.

The Ideas Pod is part of India’s premier conference where ideas will flow as some of the brightest minds converge to discuss, debate, argue, agree or disagree on issues that matter to the people and the world.

From March 17 to 19, Firstpost, in collaboration with the Observer Research Foundation, will bring agenda-setting and thought-provoking discussions with leading minds in foreign policy and geopolitics covering topics as varied as climate change and international security to economic inequality and emerging technologies, Firstpost said in a news release yesterday.

Among the prominent names at the Ideas Pod will be New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon; Rafael Mariano Grossi, DG, International Atomic Energy Agency; Andrii Sybiha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ukraine; Admiral Samuel Paparo, USN, Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and Jonathan Powell, National Security Adviser, United Kingdom.

Palki Sharma, Managing Editor, Firstpost, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Samir Saran and ORF to bring you front row access to the conversations that matter most.”

Firstpost, part of the Reliance Industries media empire, is India’s most credible international news brand, with over seven million subscribers on YouTube.
