Abstract
The purpose of this research is to find out the main approaches and rationale for bilateral India-US cooperation. India relies on the
United States for security in the Indo-Pacific and its neighbourhood. Furthermore, India has serious security threats in its neighbourhood
on the northern and Himalayan borders. The research investigates the bilateral cooperation between both countries. Why is
the USA more important to India for the purpose of the security and defence sectors in South Asia and the Indo-Pacific region? The
investigation of this study uses the empirical method with an analytical approach. As result, the India-US strategic partnership is on
the right track, and there is no conflict of interest in the Indo-Pacific or at a global level. Furthermore, this research recommends that
India needs to win the hearts of its South Asian neighbourhood to limit the Chinese involvement in these countries.
