At UNSC debate, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish says India 'pursuing role as a responsible maritime power to safeguard its interests & address emerging threats' amid shifts in Indo-Pacific.

Modi govt has made economic diplomacy a key part of its engagement with US, Quad, and others. Yet, India’s economic linkages in Indo-Pacific region remain underdeveloped.

NZ has no formal defence relationship with the USA. It seems a shame India isn’t putting much more effort into strengthening its relations with the countries of South Asia and also with Southeast and East Asia as security & trade complement each other. It was disappointing to many of us outside India that India withdrew from RCEP, the world’s largest trade bloc which accounts for 30% of the world’s population (2.2 billion people) and 30% of global GDP.
Quad without the United States is a bit of a stretch. Europe does not share America’s concerns as far as China is concerned. Would be happy to continue trade and investment linkages absent US pressure. Australia’s own economy is such a good fit with China’s. It has paid a price by raising the pitch, most recently with AUKUS. Concerns in Australia about both the cost and utility of AUKUS. Instead of meandering all over the Asia – Pacific, creating artificial constructs, better for India to focus on the land threat from China. Have a productive conversation about the way forward.
