“The term Indo-Pacific underlines the inherent connectivity and indivisibility of the interests of the littoral states of the two oceans, Indian and the Pacific. The popularity of the idea reflects not only contemporary geopolitics, but also the reality of globalization. Unless we conceptualize them together, we will not be able to respond to, and make the best of, the evolving trends in this part of the world. Indo-Pacific is our homeland. Whether to concentrate on our east or west, whether to focus on our immediate or extended neighborhood is a false choice. Today, East Asia and the Pacific are the most dynamic arena of India's global engagement as a result of three decades of intensive economic cooperation, giving this region the highest heft and priority for our well-being. The Indo-Pacific being our home and source of our economic vitality, India has a deep and legitimate interest in maintaining its free, open and inclusive character, in preserving peace, security and prosperity, and in promoting respect for international law in the Indo-Pacific.”
