Features: Nehru was a renowned leader in modern Indian history and a world-famous statesman in the mid-20th century. Compared to other leaders in the Third World, he had a more systematic foreign policy. From the perspective of India's national interests, he made ensuring India's security and economic development, as well as pursuing a great power status, the primary goals of Indian foreign policy. To this end, he kept independent India within the Commonwealth, establishing a foreign policy centered on non-alignment. He raised the banner of world peace, jointly advocated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence with China, anded the peaceful resolution of international disputes, opposing military alliances and condemning aggressive wars, thereby showcasing India's image as a peace-seeking nation on the international stage. Given the uniqueness and significance of Nehru's foreign policy, and the absence of specialized works on this topic domestically, this book takes Nehru's diplomacy as its research subject, hoping to serve as a catalyst for further study. This book is one of the main research outcomes of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" project on "Modern Indian Diplomacy" under the Zhejiang Provincial Philosophy and Social Sciences Planning.
