Therefore, accommodation of multiple aspirations of the diverse region becomes sinequa-non. The act of diplomacy, an attribute of sovereign states, is now gaining ground as sub- national activity. Paradiplomatic activities of local and regional governments in international relations are becoming increasingly important worldwide. Realizing the economic potential of the sub national governments and adding their voices to the global governance is the need of the hour. In Indian context, the federalization of foreign policy is a development of significant import.

In a country like India, with a federal structure, where resources of central government is limited and in the democratic setup, where periodic elections decide the fate of the ruling parties, a dynamic regional government cannot remain relied merely upon the assistance of the union government.
