    Japan and India: natural but wary allies: considers the position of Japan and India in the contemporary Asian security matrix
    in New Zealand International Review , July 1, 2011 ,  2011
    Although India and Japan have been historically close, the two countries drifted apart after India's independence in 1947. However, the end of the Cold War and India's 'Look East Policy' put the relations back on track. In part, this is a response to the changing strategic situation in East Asia. Rising China's increasing assertiveness has affected Indo-Japanese security ties. So, too, has India's growing camaraderie with the United States. Japan's importance in India's 'Look East Policy' is manifest, as is the role of the Indian Navy in ensuring Japan's energy security. There are a number of avenues for India and Japan to collaborate in the contemporary Asian security matrix.
