Alumni Publication: "India’s increased defence and security engagement with Southeast Asia" by Viraj Solanki

On 1 May 2024, The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) published NESA Center alum Viraj Solanki's analysis titled "India’s increased defence and security engagement with Southeast Asia."
"India’s recent delivery of BrahMos missiles to the Philippines – the first batch of its most valuable defence-export deal to date – is part of a broader effort by New Delhi to step up defence engagement with Southeast Asian states," writes Solanki.
