US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent visit to India will not be enough to reset India–US relations. While structural ties endure, Donald Trump’s flip-flopping on energy policy has done lasting damage to 🇺🇸’s relationship with 🇮🇳, writes @chietigj for @LowyInstitute.

Last week I spoke at the @KeeleWorldA4rs Forum on the #China-#India relationship. My remarks covered the role of history, the roots of hostility, third parties, and key misconceptions about the relationship in the West. Watch it here. @CHAsiaPacific youtu.be/XB9nNQ94Fi4?is=Ph0k…
This week @ChathamHouse hosted #Bangladesh’s State Minister of Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed. The wide-ranging discussion covered the country’s climate/development priorities ahead of #COP31, the “Bangladesh First” foreign policy, and relations with #India and #China @CHAsiaPacific

My article in @LowyInstitute ‘The Interpreter’ argues that #India-#US relations needs to go beyond episodic achievements. Rather than dealmaking or platitudes, the strategic rationale of the relationship needs to be revived. See comments. @CHAsiaPacific lowyinstitute.org/the-interp…
(3/4) Two key pillars of the India-US relationship have weakened under Trump: both countries shared democratic values and India as a counterbalance to China. The values debate is non-existent and the ‘China factor’ has lost salience as both countries reset relations with Beijing.

Many thanks to H.E. Dr Sok Siphana, Cambodia’s Senior Minister in charge of Special Missions, for joining us for a closed-door exchange last week, where he shared his perspectives on the security dynamics shaping Southeast Asia.

South Asia has arguably lost the strategic significance it once had in the West, writes Chietigj Bajpaee. China and India therefore have an opportunity to step up and align in the global south. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/14…

Having developed a willingness to work with like-minded countries in South Asia, India should consider extending this willingness to China, writes Chietigj Bajpaee. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/14…

The two countries have reset bilaterally and internationally. Now it’s time to think regionally. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/14…
While #China-#India engagement at the bilateral and global level continues to gain momentum, my @ForeignPolicy article argues that there is a need for greater cooperation at the regional level. Summary in comments. @CHAsiaPacific #SouthAsia, #regionalism

4/5 However, it offers a “win-win” solution by helping to prevent India becoming marginalised within its own region while facilitating a greater degree of transparency and accountability for Chinese initiatives in the region
