National narratives guiding India-Japan ties
December 13, 2019
Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s Op-Ed titled ‘National Narratives Guiding India-Japan Ties’ has been published by the World in One News (WION) on December 13, 2019.
The author argues that India-Japan partnership must be restructured beyond the excessive US-centred Indo-Pacific framework, and the current US-China and South Korea-Japan tension must encourage them to realise their respective national strength to nurture a partnership that is independent of alliance-alignment politics. Their mutual appreciation as ‘natural partners’ must imbibe national developmental patterns, with a focus on technological collaboration.
