Today however, geostrategic changes, globalisation and a rush of new technology are pushing the two nations into an ever closer political, economic, diplomatic and military relationship. This shift has not happened slowly, with the last five years seeing an accelerating flurry of activities between the two nations.

I wrote the ASPC\u2019s chapter where I delve into newly created institutions and organizations, key contemporary issues, strategic culture and increasing defence cooperation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/Great-Game-Indo-Pacific-Pivot-India\/dp\/9391490387\">Layton, 2022)<\/a>.
