India and the United Kingdom (UK) have a long-standing relationship that has been further strengthened in recent years, especially in the context of the Indo-Pacific region. The UK government’s foreign and defence policies post-Brexit clearly underscore the fact. A strategy framework for attaining the UK’s national security and    foreign policy goals up to 2025 was laid out in the UK government’s “Integrated review of security, defence, development, and foreign policy” (March 2021). This included giving the Indo-Pacific region diplomatic priority, or the so-called “Indo-Pacific tilt,” of the UK. The area was deemed crucial for the UK’s economy, security, and global ambition to support open societies. In this endeavour, the UK wishes to develop closer collaborations with India across a range of areas. India, the largest democracy in the world, was referred to as an international actor of growing importance. The integrated assessment outlined the United Kingdom’s goal for this improved partnership as one that includes commerce, investment, defence and security cooperation, and one which tackled issues such as climate change. The “tilt” towards the Indo-Pacific is part of the UK government’s diplomatic and defence policies. In a number of sectors, this includes forging tighter ties with India. A mutually agreed-upon framework for enhancing bilateral relationships by 2030 with the goal of creating a comprehensive strategic partnership frames the UK and Indian relations. The Indo-Pacific region, which stretches from the east coast of Africa to the western shores of the Americas, has become a major area of focus for both countries, as well as for other nations and international organizations. In recent years, India and the UK have increased their engagement in the Indo-Pacific, recognizing the region’s growing importance as a centre of economic and strategic power. Both countries have expressed a commitment to promoting stability, security, and prosperity in the region and have taken steps to deepen their cooperation in a range of areas, including defence, trade, and maritime security.
