Abstract: | India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are important geopolitical actors in the Indo-Pacific, and their relations bear on the Indo-Pacific concept's richness in connotations. After the end of the Cold War, India introduced the Look East policy and made significant progress in its relations with ASEAN. As the idea of Indo-Pacific emerges, India has also claimed to safeguard the regional centrality of ASEAN. |
