New Delhi:
The upcoming Raisina Dialogue, India s flagship global conference on geopolitics, will be held as a fully digital event.

The organisers of Raisina Dialogue 2021 have decided to host this year s edition as a fully digital event, instead of the hybrid event planned earlier that envisaged both online as well as in-person speakers and delegates, he said.
