As the global strategic landscape continues to evolve, cooperation among countries with complementary strengths is becoming increasingly important. India, Israel, and Japan offer significant opportunities for collaboration in defence technology, innovation, economic security, and regional stability.

Against this backdrop, Usanas Foundation organised a panel discussion titled “India–Israel–Japan: Forging a New Strategic Partnership” on 16 October 2026.

The discussion examined the growing strategic convergence among the three countries, focusing on defence and security cooperation, critical and emerging technologies, economic security, supply-chain resilience, and maritime security in the Indo-Pacific. The panel also explored China’s growing influence, intensifying great-power rivalry, and the opportunities and challenges shaping deeper trilateral cooperation.
