'The situation of many countries is deteriorating due to China's debt', Jaishankar's blunt statement to Italy

As the third need, Jaishankar has increased the capacity of the countries of these regions in the fields of governance, health, technology, and exploitation of natural resources. Fourth, there should be joint work for good work at the global level and all countries should be involved. International laws should be followed so that each other's interests are protected. After this, as a final need, he enumerated many options available to the countries formulating policy regarding the Indo-Pacific.

It is noteworthy to mention that during a September 2024 meeting of the top leaders of the Quad countries held in the US, for the first time, the idea was considered to widen maritime security cooperation. During this, PM Narendra Modi also laid emphasis on the need to rely on lawful global order and the sovereignty of all countries.

While China actually does not act in concert with international maritime law in the Indo-Pacific region, that is why India and Quad underline the necessity of following global law. The situation of the Philippines and other countries with China in this region remains tense. By the way, with an eye on the Indo-Pacific region, though America is strengthening strategic ties with India, still its relations are being sharpened with South Korea, Australia, and Japan separately. At yesterday's meeting, it was made crystal clear by Jaishankar himself that India too is expanding her relations with various countries, keeping in mind developments that have been witnessed in the Indo-Pacific region.
