India’s Strategic Focus: A Regional Outlook

India’s foreign policy strategy has evolved significantly over the past three decades, emphasizing a collaborative approach to regional stability. The “Look East” initiative, initially focused on strengthening ties with Southeast Asian nations, has broadened to include deeper engagement with the Asia-Pacific region. India is actively participating in key institutions and frameworks designed to foster economic and political cooperation. This includes strengthening partnerships with Japan and Australia, all while seeking alignment with the United States, Japan, and Australia. The objective is to establish a prominent and influential role within the Indo-Pacific region.
