Yes, I think I might focus on how Japan sees India as a partner in this endeavour.
As you have mentioned, India has some challenges when it comes to universal norms, especially in the democracy realm, but Japan really struggled in positioning with India in the immediate aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine because of India's unwillingness to really come out explicitly against Russian behaviour. That really put in some of the strategic thinkers in Tokyo a doubt about whether India can really be a reliable partner in the Quad moving forward, especially in the political-military arena. However, that said though, geographically speaking, with India as a gatekeeper on the Indian Ocean side, neighbouring the land border with China, Japan needs to work with India and ensure that India, even if it does not subscribe to [Technical difficulty—Editor] in the alliance systems, remains on our side of the orbit. if you will. There is the conundrum.
If you look at Japan, Canada and other countries in the Indo-Pacific, even in Europe, they all share the same conundrum, which is that it is practically impossible to decouple our economies with China. How do we de-risk it, and how do we friendshore it? Then I think that is why Japan is increasingly investing more effort in its working with like-minded democracies in terms of supply chain resiliency and ensuring that the supply of the critical technologies and materials is not so dependent on the Beijing-generated supply.
