PM Modi departs for three-nation visit to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand

Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed on Monday for a six-day trip to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand to strengthen India's Act East Policy and MAHASAGAR vision.

The visit aims to advance a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific region through deepened strategic partnerships. This move signals India's growing commitment to balancing regional dynamics while securing critical economic and security interests in the Indo-Pacific.

  • The 2025 MAHASAGAR vision was introduced to focus specifically on Indian Ocean security, complementing the broader Indo-Pacific strategy.
  • India and Australia signed a Reciprocal Logistics Agreement in 2022, allowing military forces to use each other's bases for supplies.
  • Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian nation with a nuclear power program, which India has assisted through technology sharing.
