Khushi Shah, director of India's Khushtar Heritage Collective, explained how the ancient Indian philosophy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," which means "the world is one family," shapes India's cultural diplomacy. This inclusive worldview, she said, could transform Asian cooperation, moving from power competition to familial collaboration. Highlighting key areas such as climate action, green energy, and sustainable growth, Shah emphasized the importance of shared responsibility. By treating neighbors as family, not rivals, this approach paves the way for genuine regional partnership.
