DPG is deeply committed to the growth of India’s national power and purpose, the security and prosperity of the people of India and India’s contributions to the global public good. [...] Both of them have reaffirmed the importance of maintaining ASEAN Centrality in the evolving regional architecture in the Indo-Pacific and deepening dialogue and coordination through existing ASEAN-led mechanisms and fora, including the ASEAN–India Summit, the East Asia Summit (EAS), the Post Ministerial Conference with India (PMC+1), the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Mee. [...] ASEAN and India have started reviewing the AITIGA and they have had a couple of rounds of negotiations in 2024 Since 2023, impressive progress has been observed in the area of people-to- people contacts through cooperation in higher education and tourism, etc., and the ASEAN member states have shown a deep interest in the areas of science and technology cooperation with India. [...] Both ASEAN and India need to add momentum to the implementation of the ‘ASEAN-India Joint Statement on Cooperation on the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific’ (AOIP) for Peace, Stability, and Prosperity in the Region. [...] The ousting of Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh, a political and economic crisis in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, a pro-China tilt in Maldives, the military coup in Myanmar, the border dispute with China and the financial downturn in Nepal and Bhutan, all add up to a volatile immediate neighbourhood for India.
