Pune: The second edition of the Pune Public Policy Festival (PPPF), scheduled for January 10 and 11, 2025, at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE) and The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), promises an engaging dialogue on pressing global issues.
One of the most anticipated sessions is the panel discussion on ‘Trump’s World: How the Rest Will Deal with Political Change in the United States.’ The panel will feature three distinguished diplomats: Philip Green OAM, Australia’s High Commissioner to India and Ambassador to Bhutan; Philipp Ackermann, Germany’s Ambassador to India and Bhutan; and Vijay Gokhale, Former Foreign Secretary of India.
With a potential Trump administration on the horizon, the discussion will delve into the expected shifts in global trade, supply chains, and diplomatic relations. The insights offered will be particularly relevant for India as it navigates these changes under the festival’s theme, ‘Envisioning a $10 Trillion India.’
The Pune Public Policy Festival has positioned itself as a leading platform for public discourse, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs to discuss India’s economic future. The event highlights the need for decentralized governance, encouraging collaboration between federal and state agencies to achieve ambitious economic goals.
Apart from addressing India’s domestic priorities, the festival underscores the importance of redefining the country’s global role.
