Key to this has been continuous exchange of political and official visits from both sides. However, these exchanges might not be sufficient to remove uncertainty and suspicion from their relations. As long as China's relationship with the United States remains adversarial, China will embrace India-without guaranteeing that it will not adopt a confrontational posture in the future. Their shifting relations, though suggesting an official longing for an upward trajectory, are based on a compromised context. External circumstances have pushed them to rapprochement, but could also drive them apart. Whether India and China will sustain this rapprochement is difficult to foresee.

This has compelled political pundits to mull over the bearing of a strong authoritarian Chinese regime on Xi Jinping’s foreign policy. China is already casting strong regional maritime advances and leveraging its economic might over its continental periphery. In this regard, tensions are rising in the Indo-Pacific region with countries like India and Japan coalescing to negate China’s assertiveness. Nonetheless, the new security architecture of Asia demands balanced strategic manoeuvring, exemplified by China and India pushing their bilateral ties forward while striking new deals with other like-minded countries.

This “extended neighbourhood” policy has Japan playing a very critical role economically as well as strategically. If India wants to play a “balancing act” in Asia keeping in mind China’s growing assertiveness,
it is important to analysis the scope and potential of India-Japan cooperation. In this regard the paper will first provide a brief historical base underpinning the relationship. Then it will critically examine various avenues for cooperation, based on common stakes and concerns, which are driving the relationship forward. Issues such as contesting Chinese claims in the Indian Ocean, Africa and building ports in strategic locations have profound economic, strategic and geopolitical implications for both the countries. In this context, the paper will present an assessment of the initiatives taken so far and what may lie in the path ahead.

gained much prominence in the field of solar power generation. However, there are some critical challenges facing India such as poor supply chain of production, severely low tariffs and over-dependence on Chinese imports. How India secures solar power generation within the country and cooperates with global partners is going to determine the future trajectory of its development course as an emerging economy. In this context, the coming G20 Summit is very important for India if it seeks to create a level-playing field for itself in the global environmental governance regime.
