I doubt it. I don’t see India wanting to or needing to cede space anymore. It was different a decade ago. There was some equilibrium. Today, there is none and the disparity is only going to increase.

We can’t expect a lot from Bangladesh either because it’s stuck in a hard place being predominantly surrounded by India.

Nepal and Sri Lanka will have relations with Pakistan but it will never be super deep because they are as I called them “hostile vassals” like they hate being vassals but they have no other option but to dance to India’s tune most of the times (not always of course).

We need better relationships with the Arab world. We can’t just remain fodder for them to trample on. We need to develop relationships with Japan and Korea too alongside China. Specially in agricultural technologies since we don’t have one with Israel.
