India has been engaged in a bitter border standoff with China, potentially both cause and effect of its deepening relationship with the US. Alongside other members of the Quad, in particular Japan, the US and India champion the vision of a ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’. India-UK relations are likely to deepen, while in the Gulf, India has strengthened partnerships with the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
