Italy is progressively strengthening its presence in the Indo-Pacific region, which is increasingly recognized as a strategic area for global balance and central to Italian foreign policy. This collection analyzes Italy’s role in promoting cultural and scientific cooperation in the region, in line with the EU Strategy for the Indo-Pacific. Through a network of Italian Cultural Institutes, bilateral agreements with key countries (such as India, Japan, and Vietnam), and participation in multilateral initiatives (including ASEAN, IORA, and PIF), Italy uses cultural and scientific diplomacy as fundamental tools of external projection. The work highlights the main activities, strategic priorities, and instruments adopted to strengthen relations with the region, with particular attention to culture, higher education, research, and sustainable development. In a transforming international context, Italy emerges as an actor committed to promoting shared values, intercultural dialogue, and concrete cooperation beyond the traditional boundaries of its foreign policy.
