India and
Indian Ocean Security

Pacific Forum’s India and Indian Ocean Security Program focuses on the strategic dynamics shaping South Asia and the broader Indian Ocean—one of the most geopolitically significant arenas in the Indo-Pacific. 

Through research, fellowships, publications, webinars, and in-country engagements, the program advances research and dialogue on: 

• US-India bilateral relations and regional security cooperation 

• Maritime security in the Indian Ocean 

• Emerging geopolitical dynamics involving India and Indian Ocean littoral states 

The program connects scholars and policymakers from India, the United States, the Maldives, and beyond to deepen understanding of this critical region.
