The Ministry of External Affairs, headed by External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, is responsible for executing the foreign policy of India. Modi's foreign policy is focused on improving relations with neighboring countries in the Indian subcontinent, engaging with the extended neighbourhoods of Southeast Asia, Middle East and the major global powers. In pursuit of this, he has made official visits to Bhutan, Nepal, and Japan within the first 100 days of his government, followed by visits to the United States, Myanmar, Australia, and Fiji.

The foreign policy of Modi administration has been described as "pro-American", and has faced significant criticism for their miscalculated actions related to geopolitics.
