This region has lately been witnessing an ever-growing muscle-flexing of the Chinese military. Admiral John Aquilino, the Commander of the INDOPACOM visited India in August 2021. During this trip, he held countless talks with the country’s top military brass on improving their bilateral military cooperation.  The Spokesperson of India’s Ministry of External Affairs, Arindam Bagchi, shared that the current situation in Ukraine was discussed in the fourth edition of the Indo-US 2-2 dialogue. It is no secret that this dialogue is a step in the right direction as it will allow both the countries to undertake an all-inclusive review of some cross-cutting problems in the bilateral agenda of India and the US as regards to the foreign policy, security, and defence with the aim of offering a vision and strategic guidance to further strengthen the relationship between both countries.  https://twitter.com/DrSJaishankar/status/1513689795830030338
