Indian BrahMos missile systems are on their way to the Philippines, New Delhi and Manila announce stepping up maritime and defense cooperation, and India’s foreign minister says that New Delhi backs the Philippines “upholding its sovereignty” in matters of the sea. We ask about their growing ties, whether India will play a greater role in the South China Sea, and what this means for India’s relations with China. As New Delhi commissions the Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh and Beijing renames 30 locations in the disputed region, we ask what’s next for the world’s longest border dispute.
