In focus is the promotion of the proposed Nalanda University in India as an international institution of higher learning and research on a range of subjects, including peace and security studies.

Welcoming the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other EAS leaders, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the objective was to create the new university as an icon of Asian renaissance. Dr. Singh said the objective was to set up an international university through an international treaty.
