Middle East Institute, New Delhi (MEI@ND) is a forward looking, policy oriented non-governmental research institution, striving for academic openness. Non-partisan, non-nationalistic and non-ideological, the MEI has no agenda of its own. Its aim is to facilitate a professional and comprehensive understanding of the Middle East.

MEI@ND intends to do so by actively engaging with all regional actors and great powers with stakes in the region and functions as a forum for debate, dialogue and discourse concerning the Middle East.

The MEI@ND is India-based but not Indo-centric.
