This basic foundation of India’s foreign policy is reflected today in its attachment to strategic autonomy, friendship with all to the extent possible, and balancing its external relations to increase its freedom of choice.

Defence ties have expanded, foundational agreements in the defence area have been signed, major defence platforms have been acquired, and the US has become India’s biggest trade partner.
