What happened

On October 27, 2025, the Indian and Australian armies concluded the fourth edition of their bilateral military exercise AustraHind 2025 with a closing ceremony at Irwin Barracks in Perth. The two-week drill, held from October 13–26, focused on joint operations, tactical coordination, and interoperability in sub-conventional warfare. Major General Matt Burr, Commander of the 2nd Australian Division, attended the ceremony alongside officials and members of the Indian diaspora.

Why it matters

The exercise strengthened defence cooperation and mutual trust between India and Australia, reflecting their shared commitment to regional stability and a free, open Indo-Pacific. It also provided a platform to enhance tactical synergy, integrate emerging military technologies, and deepen interoperability between the two armies.

What happened

On October 27, 2025, Major General Yousef Maayouf Saeed Al Hallami, Commander of the United Arab Emirates Land Forces, arrived in New Delhi for a two-day official visit from October 27–28, 2025. He was accorded a ceremonial welcome and briefed on India’s defence initiatives, including Operation Sindoor, AI integration in the Army, and indigenous weapons development.

Why it matters

The visit marks a key step in strengthening India–UAE defence ties through collaboration in training, technology, and capability building. It reinforces growing strategic trust between the two nations and reflects their shared commitment to enhancing regional security and military cooperation.

What happened

India and the United States conducted a combined bilateral training exercise focused on anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and maritime domain awareness near Diego Garcia from October 22–28, 2025. The exercise involved the Indian Navy’s P-8I and the US Navy’s P-8A Poseidon aircraft, aimed at enhancing interoperability, operational planning, and information sharing between the two navies.

Why it matters

The exercise reflects the growing depth of the India–US maritime partnership and their shared commitment to ensuring a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific. It builds on recent collaborations like Tiger Triumph 2025, expanding joint capabilities in surveillance, communication, and naval integration. Officials emphasized that such engagements strengthen collective maritime awareness, critical for addressing emerging security challenges in the region.

What happened

On October 28, 2025, India and Belarus held the 8th round of Foreign Office Consultations in Minsk, co-chaired by Secretary (West) Sibi George and Belarusian Deputy Foreign Minister Evgeny Shestakov. The two sides discussed the full range of bilateral ties, covering political, economic, cultural, tourism, education, and consular issues, along with regional and global matters of mutual interest.

Why it matters

The meeting reinforced India’s long-standing partnership with Belarus, which dates back to 1991. It aimed to strengthen cooperation in trade, defence, and technology while maintaining coordination on international and regional issues through established mechanisms like the Intergovernmental Commission and Joint Military Technical Cooperation framework.

What happened

On October 26, 2025 INS Sutlej successfully completed a joint hydrographic survey with the Mauritius Hydrographic Service, mapping an area of around 35,000 square nautical miles, the Ministry of Defence said. Conducted under the existing MoU between India and Mauritius, the survey will aid marine charting, coastal regulation, and long-term environmental planning, supporting Mauritius’ Blue Economy goals.

Why it matters

The mission also included training six Mauritian officials in modern hydrographic techniques and joint EEZ surveillance with the Mauritius National Coast Guard, boosting regional maritime security. This was the 18th such mission between the two nations, reaffirming their strong partnership and shared commitment to the MAHASAGAR vision..

What happened

On October 27, 2025 External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Kuala Lumpur on October 27, 2025, where the two discussed India–US relations, regional developments, and global challenges. EAM Jaishankar said he appreciated the discussion on “bilateral ties as well as regional and global issues.”

Why it matters to India

The meeting comes as trade talks between India and the US progress steadily. New Delhi has maintained a cautious approach, with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stressing that India “will not enter into any trade agreement in haste.” The engagement highlights India’s commitment to strengthening its strategic partnership with Washington while ensuring economic decisions align with long-term national interests.

Geopolitically speaking, Europe and India stand at critical crossroads today. Europe is grappling with renewed assertiveness from emerging powers, internal political recalibrations within the continent, and a rapidly unravelling multilateral order. India is carefully navigating regional and global geopolitical uncertainties and is choosing to be more multi-aligned, moving more decisively into the Indo-Pacific, negotiating FTAs, and managing the rapidly rising China challenge in the region and beyond.

Adding insult to injury, Trump’s “Make America Great Again” ideologues have intervened brazenly in Europe’s domestic politics. The U.S. State Department—once fond of lecturing non-Western nations on human rights—has turned its gaze on European democracies, raising alarms about restrictions on free speech. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly scolded Europe for abandoning “classical Western values”

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has almost single-handedly altered the course of contemporary international politics. Under his watch, Washington seems to have become disinterested in its leadership of the world. The transatlantic relationship has been damaged, if not altogether dismantled; the war in Ukraine is turning in Russia’s favour; and China continues its assertive global rise. There is little clarity about what comes next. And it has only been a little over five months since Trump assumed office in Washington.

Few elites around the world welcomed the re-election of Donald Trump as U.S. President in late 2024 more than in India. That enthusiasm appeared justified by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s highly productive engagement with President Trump at the White House in February 2025. India’s optimism on Trump however, has quickly soured into anxiety after the India-Pakistan conflict of April-May 2025—amid Trump’s repeated claims for credit in ending hostilities and brokering a ceasefire.

We bring you the third issue of India’s World at an important moment, as the Middle East undergoes a profound transformation, reshaping the region’s internal dynamics and its relationship with the wider world, including India. For India, the old paradigms it once used to define the region are rapidly dissolving, demanding a fundamental reassessment of how it must engage with this vital geopolitical space. The Middle East is no longer merely from which India imported energy and to which its people migrated to work, or a region seen only through the lens of conflict.

Official Delhi rarely acknowledges big changes in foreign policy. The discourse on Indian foreign policy that celebrates continuity and enduring principles such as strategic autonomy is even more reluctant to reflect on India’s changing foreign policy orientation. Yet, change has been the dominant feature of India’s engagement with the world over the last three decades. Some of that change has accelerated under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For example, Modi himself has claimed that India has shed its ‘historic hesitations’ in building a partnership with the United States.

Seventy-five years after independence, the subcontinent remains at odds with itself. Bemoaning this tragedy is no substitute for hard-headed analysis. There has been plenty of reflection on the state of the subcontinent in this issue of India’s World.

No analysis of the region can overlook the historical burden of the Partition that continues to weigh down on Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. So is the inevitable fragmentation of the broader subcontinent, whose heartland and periphery were held together by the paramountcy of the British Raj until 1947.

“Delighted to hear of the launch of India’s World. In our increasingly interconnected planet, global literacy is essential for all thinking Indians. The new magazine should fulfil a vital need.”
Shashi Tharoor
Member of Parliament and Chairperson, Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs
“India’s World is a vital initiative, amplifying Indian perspectives and underscoring the nation’s pivotal role in shaping the evolving global order. In a world increasingly defined by complex geopolitical shifts and rising multi-stakeholderism, this initiative will provide a platform to articulate Indian perspectives on international politics and national interests. This magazine will fill a critical gap in the global discourse on India’s role as an emerging power. My best wishes to Dr. Raja Mohan and Dr. Jacob for the magazine to emerge as more than just a publication - a beacon of India’s intellectual leadership on the world stage.”
Ram Madhav
Author, and President, India Foundation
“Foreign policy and strategic issues are no longer the stuff of elite deliberations in smoke-filled chambers. The age of instant communications, live reporting and snap judgements is upon us. Foreign affairs have become everybody’s business and public opinion may often drive decision making by the state. The need for reflective deliberation and informed and well-rounded analysis that reaches out to an educated and even curious public has never been greater. The initiative taken by two of India’s leading strategic thinkers to create precisely such a platform for sober and reasoned debate fills a much needed gap in an India more engaged with the world than ever before. I wish them much success.”
Shyam Saran
Former Foreign Secretary, former Chairman of the National Security Advisory Board, and President, India International Centre
“Throughout history, India’s engagement with the world has been open and multi-faceted. Today, that engagement is marked by India’s rising comprehensive national strength, the power of our example as a resilient, thriving, stable democracy and as a leading voice of an aspirational global majority in Asia and beyond. “India’s World” provides an excellent platform that explains India’s global engagement, values and national interest in a contemporary world order that is at a critical inflection point.”
Nirupama Rao
Former Foreign Secretary, and Ambassador to China and the United States.
“India’s World opens up a unique space for a range of conversations on the contours of India’s Foreign Policy. Exploring the myriad facets of the shaping and enhancement of India’s “Smart Power” potential, it foregrounds insightful and refreshing perspectives on its political, economic, cultural, and social moorings. Providing a much-needed platform for ‘democratization’ by bringing together voices that break the mould of purely ‘formalistic’ discussions on Foreign Policy, this timely publication seeks to capture the rhythms and resonances of the ‘Indian Way’ in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. It opens a new page in the ‘re-discovery of India’s Foreign Policy.”
Meenakshi Gopinath
Founder & Director, WISCOMP
“Foreign Policy is not ‘Foreign” anymore in an interconnected world, shrunk even more by technological churn and advances. India’s fiercely independent, multilateral doctrine also makes us an important voice on every significant global issue. Never was there a greater need for a magazine like this, focused, sharp, informative and engaging.”
