Phnom Penh was recently hosted to the 16th ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting (ADMM; June 22), close on the heels of the two-day ASEAN-India Foreign Ministers' Meeting (SAIFMM; June 16) held in New Delhi.

And here has been a marked increase in India's strategic dialogue and defence cooperation with the Southeast Asian region both at the multi and bilateral levels. Earlier in the same month, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's visit to Vietnam, in which a rare 10-year vision document that seeks to deepen bilateral defence cooperation between the two countries was signed is an exemplification of this.
