| Summary |
While India's Act East endeavours have been growing, its Southeast Asian forays have yet to attain a critical mass of standing naval presence. With New Delhi unwilling to be seen as interfering in the conflicts in the South China Sea, India's maritime managers have been modest with their warship deployments in the Western Pacific. As Indian maritime managers seek a bigger role for the navy in capacity- building programs, the agenda for cooperation will need to go well beyond ADMM-Plus exercises. In essence, every element of India's maritime engagement with ASEAN and Southern Pacific states must serve to cement the Indian Navy's position as a strategic actor in the Asia Pacific. Only then will India's Act East Policy gain real credibility |
