Political Science, Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, Punjabi University, Patiala, 147002

Abstract

The foreign policies of the NDA and the UPA governments were marked with similarities except the difference of approach between the two governments. The foreign policy of the NDA was further expanded and deepened by the UPA government. Both the alliance governments developed constructive bilateral relations with global powers of the world but they failed to solve Kashmir issue with Pakistan and to secure support for a permanent seat for India in the expanded U.N. Security Council.
