Powers Align Against Indo-Pacific Rivals

Published on 4.15.25

  The deployment of military assets by major world powers, including the UK and the US, in the Indo-Pacific region is a significant development that reflects growing anxiety among regional allies over shifting global dynamics. This move aims to counterbalance the influence of rival nations such as China. India's efforts to strengthen its position in the region are multifaceted. The country plans to enhance intelligence-sharing with Bangladesh to combat radicalization and conducting covert operations against ISI-backed elements. India also seeks to boost trade ties with Bangladesh through concessional tariffs and joint ventures in sectors like textiles, IT, and pharmaceuticals. The UK's deployment of its largest naval strike group will pass through waters near India as part of a 12-nation force, reflecting the UK's commitment to maintaining a strong presence in the region. The US is also increasing its military presence in the Indo-Pacific, with a focus on projecting power and deterring rivals. India has raised awareness about China's military dual-use infrastructure at international forums like the UN, QUAD, and G20, reflecting India's concerns about China's expanding influence in the region and its potential implications for regional stability.
