The Diplomat published on 26 July 2022 an analysis titled "Will India Try Again for a Military Base in Seychelles?" by Dennis Hardy, University of Seychelles.
The Seychelles rebuffed India during an earlier effort to negotiate a military base, but continuing efforts by China to support the PLA Navy in the Indian Ocean region and reports of a desire to establish a base in Madagascar are causing India to revive its interest in a base in Seychelles.
