Director General, Manohar Parrikar IDSA and Chair of Think-20 (India's G20 Presidency) Amb Sujan R. Chinoy’s article ‘Chinese shenanigans on Arunachal Pradesh’ has been published in ‘The Hindu’ on 18 April 2023.

Its ambiguous stand on the boundary dispute in Ladakh limits the possibility of ground-level cooperation between India and the US in the western sector, unlike the wider possibilities for naval collaboration in the Indo-Pacific, writes Amb Chinoy.
Director General, Manohar Parrikar IDSA and Chair of Think-20 (India's G20 Presidency) Amb Sujan R. Chinoy’s article ‘A case to promote border tourism’ has been published in ‘The Hindu’ on 09 March 2023.
Amb Chinoy highlights the need to promote border tourism but on the basis of proper norms and feasibility studies.
The journey of the Indian Armed Forces over the last 100 years has in many ways mirrored the momentous history of the birth, struggles and victories of India. It straddles a colonial period in which the armed forces of India owed allegiance to a foreign sovereign and could readily be used to fight an alien power’s wars and promote its strategic objectives. This did not however erode the heroism and professionalism that the Indian armed forces came to be known for over two centuries.

Think20, the ideas bank of G20, will engage with the gamut of issues – strategic, economic and structural – that confront all countries, said Amb Chinoy.
It is with deep anguish that I write to express my heartfelt sorrow on the tragic and untimely passing away of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The cruel hand of an assassin has snatched him away from us, leaving a huge void in the Japanese political firmament as well as on the international stage.
