The consequences of China's rise and its growing capabilities are "particularly profound", External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said as he flagged the "sharpening of tensions" on territorial issues across Asia with Beijing's actions raising a question mark on the agreements of yesteryears.
Speaking at the fifth Indian Ocean Conference - IOC 2021 – in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Mr. Jaishankar also said that in a globalised world, it is vital that the freedom of navigation and overflight and unimpeded commerce are respected and facilitated.
Noting that a number of developments have taken place that have direct bearing on the well-being of the Indian Ocean region, the Minister said that two developments - the changing American strategic posture and the rise of China - have influenced the evolution of the Indian Ocean in recent years.
