India unveils a ten-year defence diplomacy roadmap titled “RAKSHA,” outlining plans to deepen international defence and security partnerships. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh presents the framework, which focuses on strengthening cooperation with other countries across areas including capacity building and strategic relationships.
The roadmap also emphasizes expanding India’s indigenous defence exports and building India’s role in defence manufacturing. In addition, sources link the plan to efforts to strengthen maritime security cooperation, reflecting a broader aim of supporting regional stability through external engagement.
