.@LynnKuok: The #US has put working towards a common cause with its closest allies at the centre of advancing its national interest. The strength of the US as well as its partners matter.

#Raisina2022

.@carlbildt: If you look at the handling of the #Russia crisis, we are flying together. We are closer than in the past, covering all aspects of #security. There is a significant strengthening of #NATO and #transatlantic aspects of security.

#Raisina2022

.@carlbildt: The strengthening of #NATO has implications for the #IndoPacific region, most notably with respect to #China.

#Raisina2022

.@carlbildt: The beginning of trade negotiations between #India and the #EU is a good move, particularly because #India is a difficult negotiator.

#Raisina2022

.@MalikAshok: The rejuvenation of the #Quad has been primarily driven by #India. #Washington has to play catch up.

#Raisina2022

.@MalikAshok: #India and the #US are using the same language to approach the #UkraineRussia crisis. However, we are using different #geopolitical and #strategic dictionaries.

#Raisina2022

.@MalikAshok: When it comes to #China’s actions in #Ladakh or elsewhere in Asia, those positions are crystal clear for #India.

#Raisina2022

Ming-Shih Shen: When the #Ukraine war broke out, many people in #Taiwan were very concerned. The “today Ukraine–tomorrow Taiwan” debate may have been fueled because of the Ukraine war.

#Raisina2022

Ming-Shih Shen: Governments across the world have started integrating #defence capabilities to overcome fears coming out of the #Ukrianecrisis.

#Raisina2022

Ming-Shih Shen: The #Ukrainecrisis may be a recent provocation but #Taiwan is preparing to defend itself since 1949. The #pandemic and the #NationalCongress may have kept #China distracted this year.

#Raisina2022

.@DCTwining: We all have our domestic issues. We have to make sure that these don't distract us from doing what we have to do #strategically across the world.

#Raisina2022

.@DCTwining: There is a scenario where #Russia may not remain a great power, depending on how the war in #Ukraine unfolds.

#Raisina2022

.@DCTwining: There is a story of #democratic resilience in both the #US and in #India. 80% of US citizens think that we should stand against authoritarianism.

#Raisina2022

.@LisaCurtisDC: #China remains the number one national security concern for the #US. The #IndoPacific strategy lays out a strategy of networked deterrence against any type of threat in the region.

#Raisina2022

.@LisaCurtisDC: The #IndoPacific strategy of the #US has underscored the importance of #India and its bilateral relationship. The recent 2+2 dialogue is a clear example of the same, despite some differences.

#Raisina2022

.@LisaCurtisDC: An #economic strategy has not been laid out yet and that is perhaps the weakest part of the #IndoPacific strategy.
