“Further, the State Department must support an integrated federal effort to deliver a revamped regional strategy for South Asia, as well as leading the execution of key tasks to implement the strategy.”
What has happened
- Not started
No revamped South Asia regional strategy has been delivered. A Federal Register full-text search for the quoted phrase "South Asia strategy" since 2025-01-20 returns 0 documents; nothing in the state.gov sitemap index matches a South Asia strategy document. The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs' key-topics page (state.gov/key-topics-bureau-of-south-and-central-asian-affairs/) frames South Asia as "a crucial pillar" of the Indo-Pacific vision and points readers to the existing Indo-Pacific Strategy page, and the Department's Agency Strategic Plan (state.gov/agency-strategic-plan/) is department-wide. Both were read; neither is a South Asia regional strategy, and under playbook 3b progress is measured on this ask. Recorded under the cluster negative searches for ticket 09 batch 09b in `docs/research/ch-06.md`.
