India and the Philippines have elevated their ties to a Strategic Partnership (2025–29), marking a new era of cooperation. From the first joint naval exercise in the South China Sea and the landmark BrahMos deal to growing trade worth $3.5 billion, the partnership is expanding across defence, economy, and technology. Visa-free entry for Indians and e-tourist visas for Filipinos further deepen people-to-people bonds, while new collaborations in infrastructure, GatiShakti, and the Sovereign Data Cloud highlight the future of this Indo-Pacific partnership.
