The Indo-pacific business summit organized by CII saw sessions on how India and other nations in the Indo-Pacific region can expand their economic partnership and can also collaborate for future economic development.
• Secretary (East) Riva Ganguly, during the summit, highlighted the initiatives taken by India which include building the cross-border linkages and infrastructure, Supply Chain Resilience Initiative (SCRI), promoting digital connectivity, and Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI).
• The summit saw the rich participation from the Ambassadors and High Commissioners of different countries across the Indo-Pacific. It is the region that spans from the east coast of Africa to the Pacific Island States.
The idea of the Indo-Pacific as a single strategic space is an outgrowth of the growing influence of China in the Indian Ocean Region. It further signified the interconnectedness of the Indian and the pacific ocean and the importance of the oceans to commerce and security.
To counter China’s growing influence in the Indo-pacific region, the first summit of the leaders of Quad was also hosted by the US on a virtual platform in March 2021.
The quad grouping includes India, Japan, the US, and Australia. It aims at safeguarding the interests of democratic nations in the Indo-pacific region and addressing global challenges.
