Under the auspices of the Act East Policy, India has tried to revitalise its relationship with Asia and the Pacific during the last ten years. Infrastructure development, increased connectivity, and improved economic and security cooperation have all been goals of the approach. Sagarmala, Project Mausam, Cotton Routes, and Security and Growth for All in the Region are excellent efforts. This diplomatic campaign is being done to re-establish India's connections with its long-time trading partners, but one of its justifications is China's growing might. These activities are becoming more strategically relevant in the COVID-19 globe because of the major worry about an over-reliance on Chinese supply chain networks. Thus, this thesis emphasises how India's foreign policy toward China changed as the epidemic spread. It focuses on India's Indo-Pacific connectivity ambitions and its interactions with "like-minded" nations.
