Abstract
India's Indo-Pacific strategy has become a cornerstone of its foreign policy, reflecting a nuanced blend of geopolitical, economic, and security interests. The Indo-Pacific region has emerged as a critical arena of global geopolitics, encompassing strategic waterways, vital trade routes, and complex power dynamics. India's regional strategy promotes stability, economic growth, and maritime security through strategic partnerships with key regional players. These partnerships serve as the foundation of India's engagement in the Indo-Pacific, enabling it to counterbalance China's growing assertiveness, deepen economic ties, and enhance regional security cooperation. This research paper explores India's evolving partnerships with prominent regional actors in the broader Indo-Pacific construct, including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, and ASEAN. The paper argues that India's emphasis on partnerships is essential for advancing its regional and global ambitions, yet its strategic autonomy remains a defining feature of its approach. By examining India's evolving relations with key regional players, the paper sheds light on how partnerships function as a pillar of India's Indo-Pacific strategy. It concludes that while India's security-based partnerships have strengthened, its economic engagement in the region requires further enhancement to maintain its strategic position effectively. Through an in-depth analysis of India's evolving role in the region, this paper will highlight how partnerships remain central to India's long-term strategic vision in the Indo-Pacific, ensuring its continued relevance in the global order.
