While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I hope our government also focuses on getting better technology transfer deals. Too often we just become consumers rather than partners in development.

Maritime security cooperation is crucial given China's aggressive posturing in the region. India and South Korea should work together to ensure free navigation in Indo-Pacific waters.
