Video Description

As China escalates its saber-rattling in the Indo-Pacific, India has actively sought security pacts with other regional powers, including recent agreements with Australia to provide logistical support to military aircraft and Australia-US-UK (Aukus) nuclear-powered submarines. These deals come amid questions over US President Donald Trump’s global military strategy and commitments to the region. India, Australia and the US — along with Japan — launched the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) in 2007, but how relevant is that framework in 2025? And how could these pacts help in the event of a military conflict in the Taiwan Strait? In this episode, we discuss the India-Australia friendship, naval and air logistics, the future of the Quad, and other recent security developments in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and beyond. *Recorded on October 14, 2025 at 3pm Taiwan Standard Time Host: Yin Khvat Our guests: Tony Hu - Former US Department of Defense Senior Director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia Sana Hashmi - Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation Fellow Chapters: 00:00:00 - India's Regional Security Partnerships 00:00:52 - India, Australia Reach Sub Deal 00:11:23 - Canberra, New Delhi's Friendship 00:14:35 - How Can Pacts Help During Crisis? 00:18:20 - A Non-US Security Network in Asia? 00:23:36 - Can Quad Be Relevant Under Trump? #Dost #Dosti #IndiaAustraliaRelations #IndianForeignPolicy #IndianMilitary #Quad #NarendraModi #AnthonyAlbanese #RajnathSingh #RichardMarles #DonaldTrump #IndianNavy #IndianAirForce #AustralianNavy #AustralianAirForce #Submarine #SubmarineDeal #NewDelhi #Canberra #AUKUS #IOR #IndianOceanRegion #SecurityPartnership #StrategicPartnership #MaritimeSecurity #MutualLogisticsSupportArrangement #IndoPacific #IndianOcean #PacificOcean #SouthChinaSea #NuclearSubmarine #ChinaMilitary #PeoplesLiberationArmy #PLA #TaiwanContingency #TaiwanConflict #TaiwanInvasion #BritishRoyalNavy #CarrierStrikeGroup #IndiaUKRelations #KeirStarmer #KonkanExercises #Konkan25 #LightweightMultiroleMissiles #LMM #USForeignPolicy #USDefensePolicy #ElbridgeColby #TaiwanPlus #TaiwanTalks
