How the exam will ask it

मेन्स
GS-II (International Relations) and GS-III (Defence). Japan's push for faster Indian approvals shows how bilateral defence-technology pacts depend on domestic procedural clearances. Streamlining inter-ministerial approvals, aligning with Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence and deepening Indo-Pacific cooperation is the way forward.
