GlobalGeopolitics in the Indo-pacific.

My Analysis on GlobalGeopolitics in the Indo-pacific.

A Strong influence of Naval Force in contested south China sea. China has No territorial claims over disputed south China sea. We have committed to deepen Quadrilateral alliance towards realising a free, open indo Pacific international rule based order is essential to strengthen multilateralism.

After United States Pacific command renamed United States - Indo Pacific Command, India joins three nations United States, Japan and Philippines that sails through disputed south China sea to ensure Sovereignty and defence capabilities and commitment to freedom of navigation in international waters in line with UNCLOS where China is flexing its muscle. the emergence of Indo-pacific signals the rising importance of indo-pacific region in determining India's freedom of navigation in international waters, peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law, strengthening beyond the cooperation, security, countering china's confluence & emerging as a responsible global powers.

China claims almost all the disputed waters & its growing military presence has fuelled concerns in Japan and the west with US holding regular Air & Naval exercise to ensure freedom of navigation. We urge China to abide the relevant conventions of UNCLOS and rights under international law to freedom of navigation and overflight, including in the South China Sea whereas China has undermined and insisted their claims on territorial disputes south China sea is in violation of UNCLOS (United Nations Convention of the Laws of Sea), china insistence on disputed south china sea is a clear outright rejection of 2016 UNCLOS judgement and blatant disregard of rules and international laws on oceans. Indian Navy forces are operating in the region navigate through international waters regularly and always abide by international law. The United Nations considers the South China Sea to be international waters and has refused to recognise Beijing has any legitimate claim to the region.

The Quadrilateral alliance and ASEAN countries have committed to deepening Cooperation which rest on a foundation of shared Democratic values and principles to further strengthen the international order based on the rule of law in indo-pacific regions. India has consistently supported ASEAN unity and centrality and ASEAN led mechanisms for regional security and economic architecture to promote peace and prosperity in indo-pacific region. Indo-pacific is a strategically geopolitical imperatives for ASEAN Nations in line with international laws. India-ASEAN countries agreed to step up multilateral engagements with greater strategic convergence coming into the shape of indo-pacific regions. India-ASEAN countries increasingly military relevance is an ASEAN centrality as a cornerstone of a free, open and inclusive indo-pacific, giving substance to indo-pacific policies that international defence and security cooperation is a shared values and commitment in upholding the rule based orders and respect for international laws in the strategically indo-pacific regions.
