Summary/Abstract: The military-strategic partnership of India and Japan, which was initiated in the mid-2000s, is critically analyzed and perceived in the paper. A definition of this type of partnership is derived based on the findings and insights of other authors, and the structural changes in international relations during this century that enabled/stimulated the emergence of the Indian-Japanese partner relationship in the field of security are described in the paper's introduction. The content of that partner relationship, as well as the motivation for initiating it, is described in the central part of the paper, and its positive aspects for both countries, as well as the limitations in its implementation and ultimate reaches, are indicated. Military-technical cooperation is pointed to in the paper as the most precious component of that partnership that has insufficiently been taken advantage of so far. In the final part of the paper, the knowledge of this partnership and its important dimensions is summed up and a forecast of its further perspectives is formulated. The analytical-synthetical research method is used the most in the paper.The military-strategic partnership of India and Japan, which was initiated in the mid-2000s, is critically analyzed and perceived in the paper.
