The correct answer is (c) Southeast Asia.
The Act East Policy is an Indian foreign policy initiative launched in 2014 to deepen India’s economic engagement with Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific Islands. The policy aims to promote trade, investment, and connectivity between India and these regions.
Nagaland is a state in northeastern India. It is bordered by the states of Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as the People’s Republic of China. Nagaland is a landlocked state with a population of over 1.9 million people. The capital of Nagaland is Kohima.
The Act East Policy has the potential to boost economic ties between Nagaland and Southeast Asia. The policy could lead to increased trade and investment between the two regions, as well as improved connectivity. This would benefit both Nagaland and Southeast Asia, and would help to promote economic development in both regions.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the focus of the Act East Policy. Central Asian nations are not a major focus of the policy, and the European Union and the Middle East are located too far away from Nagaland to be directly affected by the policy.
