BrahMos delivery to Philippines realises PM Modi’s vision

India equipped the Philippines with Brahmos cruise missiles, making it the first foreign nation to acquire the missile weapon system developed by an India-Russia joint venture. The move spotlighted the important role Philippines plays in India’s ‘Act East’ Policy, and its overall Indo-Pacific vision and was labelled by New Delhi as “an important step forward for Government of India’s policy of promoting responsible defence exports”.
