| Summary/Abstract |
Within the ambit of ‘Act East’, New Delhi’s determination to bring about significant, tangible changes as well as vigorously pursue a “proactive” foreign policy, has found its most significant extrapolation in the emphasis on boosting relations with major Indo-Pacific littoral powers like Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, etc. In this context, the intensified engagement with regional maritime powers is a natural corollary of responding to the evolving strategic paradigm in the regional waters.
