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.
With a fresh wave of naval upgrades and smart partnerships, India is stepping up its maritime game to secure trade routes, boost stability, and carve out a leading role in the 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.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
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.
