A word of caution as New Zealand forges closer defence ties with India.
Prime Minister Chris Luxon's signed a Strategic Partnership with Narendra Modi - during the Indian Prime Minister's whirlwind visit.
He's also agreed to strengthen maritime cooperation and carry out more bilateral naval activity.
