Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr Jagannath Panda’s commentary, titled ‘The India-Japan-Vietnam Trilateral: An “Inclusive” Proposition’ was published by ISPI (Istituto per gli Studi di Politica Internazionale) on April 15, 2019.
The commentary analyses the prospects of Vietnam, Indonesia and few other countries in Southeast Asia as a third country partner to India and Japan. More than any other country, Vietnam’s problematic maritime relationship with China in the South China Sea has always made it a strong prospective candidate for becoming a partner of trilateral relationship with India and Japan, writes Dr Panda.
