The Indo-Pacific and Partnerships with Japan & Australia

India’s presence in the Indo-Pacific region has become more pronounced, particularly in its strategic partnerships with countries like Japan and Australia. The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) between India, the U.S., Japan, and Australia is one of the key mechanisms for fostering a free and open Indo-Pacific.

The Quad aims to promote regional stability, enhance economic ties, and counter the growing maritime presence of China. India’s robust economic growth and defense capabilities make it a natural ally for countries in the Indo-Pacific, and the region has increasingly become a focal point of India’s foreign policy.
