Summary/Abstract |
Improved India-Vietnam relations are guided both by their common historical experiences and their mutual concerns in the post-cold war context. Both have suffered aggression from China in the past and had good relations with the former Soviet Union. In fact, India was the only non-communist country to recognize the unified Vietnam and, ever since, they have had a friendly relationship, one that has stood the test of time. However, in the post-cold war context the shadow of China looms large over this relationship. As India's 'Look East' policy matures, New Delhi is now seeking to engage countries in the Chinese periphery. The changing geostrategic dynamics have also forced Vietnam to forge greater strategic cooperation with India. This paper argues that India has to identify potential additional areas of cooperation and proactively engage Vietnam to further strengthen this relationship.

Summary/Abstract |
Cooperation is the key word of both the BIMSTEC and the MGC Initiatives. It is the driving force behind the success of these dynamic endeavours, which essentially justifies the formation of a community feeling among the member-states. The respective repositories of the members can be exchanged and utilised for the optimum utilisation of the available resources thereby enhancing the spectre of reaping benefits. Under the essence of cooperation the member-countries acquire the opportunity of a wider intermingling and knowing each other deeply, which provides the ground for intense understanding among the member- countries wherein the member states expand their perimeters of cooperation sidelining their differences. Collaborative endeavours accelerating the essence of solidarity is the motivating spree of development and prosperity of the nation states.

Summary/Abstract |
In the last decade, India has shown a keen interest in the formation of sub-regional groupings such as Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and the Mekong Ganga Project (MGC). There are five reasons for this: the need to find a working alternative to a non-functional South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), the importance of this contiguous region with regard to geopolitics and security, rivalry with China, the growing economic links between India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the strategic advantages of enhanced relations with Myanmar. There are barriers to regional integration within the region mentioned, such as weak political institutions and human rights violations, but ASEAN offers a good model. India needs to adopt a multi-dimensional consultative approach in this matter.
