Asean is comfortable with India’s rise, views it as a natural hedge against China. PM LKY of Singapore was the first to recognise India’s potential, helped make it feel welcome in the regional grouping. Last year, China’s trade with Asean was a little more than half a trillion dollars, with a surplus of about $ 40 billion. India did $ 70 billion, with a small deficit. Our exports have stagnated during the last four years, we are turning protectionist, have little appetite for FTAs or joining regional trading blocs like TPP or RCEP. Asean is part of global manufacuring chains, benefits from globalisation. India needs to reform, grow faster for its friendship with Asean to blossom. Historical / cultural ties and shared wariness of China are not sufficient.
