根据这一策略,华盛顿曾鼓励印度在东亚和东南亚扮演更大角色。国务卿克林顿(Hillary Clinton)今年早些时候访问印度时,要求印度不要只是朝着东边看,还要跟东边打交道,在东边行动。印度的回应是重新关注于它的“东向政策”(Look East Policy),这一政策已经从经济贸易联系演变为安全关系的逐渐加强。
India's ties with Japan, in particular, have been gaining momentum thanks to growing enthusiasm in both New Delhi and Tokyo. India's booming economy makes it an attractive economic partner for Japan as the latter tries to overcome long years of stagnation. Japan also is reassessing its traditionally passive security stance and looking for opportunities to play a greater role while staying within the bounds of its non-aggression commitments. Of all Japan's neighbors, India seems most willing to acknowledge Japan's central role in guaranteeing Asian security.
尤其值得一提的是,印度与日本的关系已经在发力。这得益于新德里和东京两方面越来越大的热情。印度经济繁荣,使它成为日本在努力克服多年经济停滞的过程中,一个有吸引力的经济合作伙伴。日本也在重估过去消极的安全立场,寻找机会在不违背不侵犯承诺的情况下扮演更大角色。在日本所有邻国当中,印度似乎最愿意承认日本对于保障亚洲安全的中心角色。
Moreover, a new generation of political leaders in India and Japan view each other with fresh eyes, allowing for a break from past suspicion. China has inadvertently hastened this process along. Both India and Japan are well aware of China's not so subtle attempts at preventing their rise. It is most clearly reflected in China's opposition to the expansion of the United Nations Security Council to include India and Japan as permanent members.
