In light of the recent meeting of 'The Quad' nations India, Japan, US and Australia, we are joined by Emeritus Professor Purnendra Jain, from the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Adelaide, who offers a timely analysis regarding India's delicate tightrope walk in keeping ongoing Russia and US relations from cancelling eachother out.

Professor Jain delves into the nature of Indian foreign policy and their long standing relationship with Russia, as well as how the relationship adds to the complexity of alliance formation in the Indo - Pacific regarding the Taiwan issue.
