| Summary/Abstract |
Popular history on India’s foreign policy exaggerates socio-politico and cultural ties of East Asian nations to that of India. It is true to a great extent where religion spread throughout South and East Asia along the trading routes. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand embraced Hinduism, while Buddhism flourished in Japan, Vietnam, Korea and China and other countries such as Burma, Cambodia and Thailand too.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Japan have shared a close relationship for a very long time. With the introduction of Buddhism in Japan in the sixth century, exchanges were believed to have started between the two nations. Buddhism brought hues of Indian culture to Japan and the process of cultural exchanges began. After the Second World War, the two countries signed a peace accord and established formal diplomatic relations in April 1952.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s strategic initiatives to connect with major economies of East Asia have resulted in a synergy that can be very productive in the times ahead. Morphing of Look East (LEP) into Act East Policy is commensurate with India’s rising economic and strategic profile in Asia. Act East will be up and coming security provider in the Indo–Pacific region. Sustaining salubrious economic and strategic environment through Special Strategic Partnership with Japan, strategic partnership with South Korea, Philippines and Vietnam signifies great savoir-faire in our regional diplomacy.

Thursday 4th February 2016 Auckland played host to the Washington mooted signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal that many free market economists and protagonists of economic neoclassicism would tout as a momentous day for the economic future of over eight hundred million people in the Asia-Pacific Rim. While the trade ministers and representatives of twelve countries, from USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Chile, Mexico, Canada, Brunei, and Peru joined the celebration to reroute the world economy to better days, thousands of protesters in several cities of the rim countries, took to the streets calling it as the biggest economic gamble of the times.

Looking is seeing; seeing is believing; believing is interacting and through interaction, one can transform the belief into trust. This has been the crux of India’s relationship with the region of South East Asia. Being the worshippers of the Sun most of the Indians especially the Hindus look to the eastern horizon early in the morning with folded hands to pray when the Sun rises.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s recent foreign policy has been under marking a paradigmatic shift especially by proactive ‘alignment’ with the world powers especially the USA, France, Japan and others. India’s new leadership has learnt the need of new ingredients in its foreign policy with the changing circumstances of the international political equations and more importantly to accomplish its national interests in terms of economy, security and technology that emerged as pre-conditions towards becoming India as one of the leading powers in the world.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s Look East Policy, initiated in 1991 and renamed as ‘Act East’ Policy in 2014, may be cited as a success story of India’s external engagement in the post- Cold War globalized era. The story began in 1992 when Indian Premier made a successful visit of this region and India became a sectoral dialogue partner of ASEAN in the same year. The status of India was elevated to the full dialogue partner in 1995. There was a temporary setback to expanding relations as the US, Japan and other leading counties imposed sanctions against India in reaction to the nuclear tests conducted by her in 1998.

Geography plays an extremely important role in the economic wellbeing as well as strategic and foreign policy formulation of a nation. Factors such as size, location, climate, availability and accessibility to natural resources dictates a nations strength and weaknesses, and influences its philosophy, attitude and standing. Thus nations derive their powers from strategic environment like mountains, long coast lines and accessibility to various other natural assets.

| Summary/Abstract |
The long-awaited dream of Asians, that 21st century will belong to East, is now approaching towards fulfillment as the global geo-politics appears to be moving Eastward to Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions away from traditional Atlantic Euro-American power centre of the world. In fact, today East Asia’s growth trajectory is represented not only by China and India, but also by the rise of the entire region. Consequently, its overall weight in global affairs is also increasing significantly, and hence developments here will have major implications for the rest of the world.

| Summary/Abstract |
The dawn of the Asian century has made East Asia very crucial for India’s strategic calculus. South China is epicentre of strategic rivalry of the great powers. Recently, China reacted strongly against India for becoming a strong centre of power in this region. China has reacted angrily to reports of possible joint patrolling by the U.S. and India in the South China Sea, most of which is claimed by Beijing.

| Summary/Abstract |
Contemporary India aspires to play an ever bigger role in the world to reap the economic benefits from different parts of the globe. It aspires to play a role even beyond its international personality and capacity under the present political dispensation. However, for historical reasons it may have failed to build the capacity in manner and might that could have made it possible. The failure of course is more on account of either ignoring the changing nature of factors of economic growth; or failing to comprehend the factors that have been contributing to the economic growth of nation-states of the world in general and US, UK, and China in particular over more than last twenty years.

India’s Act East policy and Prime Minister Modi’s Make in India drive coincide with the shifts in the Japanese post-war security policy and the April 2014 easing of the self-imposed arms export ban. Departure in Japan’s policy position on transfer of defence equipment and technology has raised India’s hopes about new vistas of high-end defence technology cooperation.

Summarily then, taking stock of the emerging dynamics of strategic relations between the two countries, it is becoming increasingly evident that Indo-Japan ties have assumed a niche in India’s ‘Act East’ policy architecture. The Government of India’s initiatives are being amply acknowledged and reciprocated by the able and pragmatic Japanese Premier, Shinzo Abe, who is keen on pursuing and sustaining its momentum.

India, in recent times, has been assiduously trying to redefine its role in Asia as well as global political system. There have been new (foreign) policy formulations and recalibration of old policies in order to adjust effectively to the ever-changing power relations, both at the regional and global level, and also the emerging world order.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sovereignty’ and ‘history’ have a universal context in international politics. But in Beijing’s strategic foreign policy setting, the logic of ‘sovereignty’ and ‘history’ are employed or applied selectively. This is clear in the context of its reservation on India’s oil exploration in the South China Sea (SCS) and its own plans to implement the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) which India opposes. The strategic implications of these matters are huge for India. India needs to read carefully the complexity behind both matters and need to discuss the matter prudently with China.

| Summary/Abstract |
As we live in the 21st century, international relationship is of great significance. It is so because it includes a great variety of transitional relationships (Palmer Norman D and Perkins Howard C. 2011). It is an agreed fact the relations of states are comprehensible against a context, as the relations of individuals are comprehensible against a context (Bajpai Kanti P. & Harish C. Shukul 1995).
