The Gulf Research Center (GRC) in cooperation with the Nixon Center of Washington, D.C. will hold a workshop on November 12 and 13, 2008 on the subject of "Gulf-India relations." Relations between the Gulf region and India have long historical roots and stretch across many dimensions. As both India and the GCC countries are experiencing strong economic development, the traditional trade and business ties are now also being supplemented with a more comprehensive approach that includes political as well as security aspects as well. The purpose of this workshop is to explore in more detail the dynamics that define Gulf-India ties and to analyze the perspectives that are presenting themselves for both sides.
