Journal    a105(642), Oct-Dec, 2025: p.674-683  aThe defence cooperation between India and Malaysia has been growing in the recent times, and both the countries have increased their defence expenditures. There are several factors which influence defence budgets; whether the territory and sovereignty are challenged; whether the national interest is at stake; whether the adverse state(s) raise its defence expenditure; or whether there is internal security being challenged (political instability). This article analyses factors influencing the rise of defence expenditure of India and Malaysia and examines different aspects of the growing relations between the two nations in defence sectors and the intersection of their interest. It suggests that both the countries look at each other for strategic balance in the Indo-Pacific region and seek to strengthen maritime security. The article will explore common security threats and strategic challenges to understand defence cooperation between India and Malaysia. –Reproduced
