Dr. Alexander Huang, a strategic expert from Taiwan, has endorsed India’s growing capabilities in the global defense sector, advocating for Taiwan to consider Indian air defense systems for its military modernization. Speaking at a seminar addressing Indo-Pacific deterrence, he highlighted India’s successful indigenous defense production, citing systems like the Akash and MR-SAM as reliable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional suppliers. With Taiwan’s increasing security concerns stemming from China’s military strategy, Huang’s support for Indian defense products underlines the importance of diversifying alliances. This development reflects India’s expanding role in defense exports, totaling $2.63 billion in 2024-25, and positions India as a strategic partner for countries seeking dependable defense solutions amidst geopolitical tensions.
