- Taliban engagement begins: India finally started looking at the Taliban as a political actor and conditionally began the process of re-engaging by sending humanitarian aid in the form of food grains, vaccines, and essential medicines, making red lines clear on the menace of extremism and rights of minorities and women.
- Pakistan turmoil: India is still on the tumultuous path with its neighbour Pakistan as it is still facing political and military stability issues and rhetoric against India.

- Sri Lanka is doomed to an economic crisis, which has allowed china to hamper India’s security and strategic interests in the Indian Ocean.
- Engagement with Myanmar has resulted in the influx of refugees in the North-East region due to the military junta regime in Myanmar.
