India has unveiled a strategic framework called RAKSHA that outlines a 10-year approach to defence diplomacy and international partnerships. The document was released by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on September 3, 2026.

RAKSHA sets out a roadmap for strengthening India's military engagement, defence industrial cooperation, and global security partnerships. According to the release, the framework aims to align defence diplomacy more closely with India's foreign policy, economic interests, and national security objectives.

The blueprint is intended to guide India's defence outreach over the next decade amid evolving geopolitical competition and changes in military technology.
