Title: Australia can’t continue to divide the Indian Ocean in two
Author(s): David Brewster
Excerpt:
We’re approaching an Indo-Pacific strategy with a glass half-full – best to fill it up entirely.
Australia’s definition of the “Indo-Pacific” currently includes much of the Pacific Ocean as well as the eastern Indian Ocean, but excludes the western Indian Ocean. This is no longer a sensible or useful way of defining our region. Australian policymakers need to include the island states of the western Indian Ocean in our Indo-Pacific strategy, even if only in a fuzzy way.

Title: India-Australia strategic convergence … with differences
Author(s): Manjeet S. Pardesi
Excerpt:
Both countries need to psychologically prepare for a “new” world of rising powers and those in relative decline.
By Manjeet S. Pardesi
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic transformation of the Indian-Australian strategic relationship. While Australia worried about India’s naval expansion in the late 1980s, and recalled its high commissioner from New Delhi after India’s 1998 nuclear tests, India and Australia are fostering a close strategic partnership today.
