As a pioneering entity with over 40 years of expertise, CUTS International, Global Affairs, a global public policy research and advocacy group aims to impact the process and content of inclusive growth and development in India and at the world at large.

CUTS GLOBAL AFFAIRS is working towards advancing better understanding and cooperation on trade and strategic issues in broader Indo-Pacific, Indian Ocean, West Asia and in Africa.

This strategic expansion underscores the organisation’s commitment to fostering social and economic transformation not only in India but across the Global South.

By positioning itself in Washington DC, a key hub for international diplomacy and policy discourse, CUTS global affairs aim to contribute to informed decision-making and policy formulation on economic and strategic matters. This endeavour is part of a broader effort to foster stability, prosperity, and inclusive development across the vast expanse of the Indo-Pacific region.

The organization has consistently followed a Centrist approach with demonstrated capacity in promoting consumer welfare in an innovative, development friendly and transparent manner. The Center will actively engage with all stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific region, countries of the rekindled quadrilateral, international trade bodies and institutions globally. Washington DC and Geneva are both central to trade policy negotiations and the Center will position itself for discussions on economic issues which impact the partner countries.
