Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s Opinion Piece ‘What supply chain resilience means for Australia-India-Japan ties?’ has been published in Kyodo News on September 03, 2020.
The piece argues that the resilience of an alternative supply chain nexus will necessarily depend on the extent to which both member states can gradually “decouple” from China, as both Australian and Japanese economies continue to share close ties with Beijing. In addition, the prospects for such a supply chain mechanism would depend upon India-Japan ties, and how the upcoming India-Japan (virtual) summit to be held in September can provide strategic guidance for this framework.
