One such opportunity lies in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs). Both India and China are on the cusp of transformative shifts in transportation, and the adoption of EVs could play a pivotal role in sustainable development and poverty alleviation in India.

Chinese expertise in EV technology could help India meet its ambitious environmental goals while bolstering economic growth.

Each is critical to crafting India's foreign and security policy towards China, the ASEAN, and the Indo-Pacific.
