The scale of India* s imports of weapons and military supplies from the United States has continued to expand, and India-US joint military exercises have deepened. Since the Modi government took office in 2014, it has signed two basic military cooperation pacts with the United States, paving the way for further upgrading the two countries' defense cooperation in the future. India-US counter-terrorism cooperation is starting from scratch and continuing to deepen, further expanding the contents of their security cooperation. India-US close security cooperation has had a serious negative impact on India’s overall foreign strategy, especially its tradition of long-standing strategic independence. It has eroded material and institutional foundations for India ’ s strategic autonomy, and deteriorated India’ s geostrategic environment, which is not conducive to realizing its dream of being a great power.展开更多

The international community should, based on existing security mechanisms, work to build a kind of governance that is more open, inclusive, pragmatic and sustainable.展开更多

While leading to significant changes in the regional landscape, challenges remain that restrict the outcomes and prospects of the engagement. A “soft” strategy is expected to make up for the deficiencies in “hard” input, and India’s strategic position will grow as it looms as the focal point for partnerships with European powers in the region.展开更多
