MN28 | India-ASEAN Defence Relations
RSIS Monograph No. 28
The engagement between India and the states of ASEAN has acquired a significant defence dimension. This volume explores the relationship in three aspects: the broad strategic arena, the narrower space of defence cooperation, and the focused area of aerospace and maritime cooperation. The authors’ findings suggest that, notwithstanding evident limits to collaboration, much can still be done to further India-ASEAN defence cooperation. Ultimately, since the chief aim of defence cooperation between India and ASEAN countries is regional stability, the final outcome will benefit the interests of not only the countries directly involved, but the region as a whole and the interests of all states active in it.
