“Alliances are very different allusions to it and (have) a very different interpretation to it. We are not part of any military alliance. We see ourselves as equal participants in all of the mechanisms that we are part of,” he said at the event 'Defence Cooperation in the Indian Ocean Region', which was attended by a high-level delegation from China.
Misri, a former Indian Ambassador to China, rebutted a Chinese delegate's question on the India-US alliance in the Indian Ocean.
“Collaboration should be open and inclusive everywhere… it should be open and inclusive and if I am not mistaken it is in India’s concept of the Indo-Pacific,'' he said.
“That (it) is for us to describe it as a free, open Indo-Pacific. It is definitely a part of our thinking and our definition of these constructs,” he said.
Misri directly responded to the Chinese delegate's question, saying, “Since you talked about openness and inclusivity in terms of participation, I hope that this principle will be respected equally and by everyone else also in different geographies when it comes to that.'' He also dismissed questions about the India-US pacts, Misri said, amidst increasing Chinese assertiveness in the region. Source By:-Devdiescourse
