In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.
