India's growing friendship with Russia and Central Asia is troubling China

India's growing friendship with Russia and Central Asia is troubling China


past Sharma New Delhi: India's growing partnership with Central Asian countries and unwavering camaraderie with Russia - highly visible during Vladimir Putin's visit to New Delhi in December - could be troubling China. Some of Moscow's top strategic experts think so.


In the past 12 months, New Delhi has strengthened its bonds with landlocked regions of Eurasia, especially after the unrest in Afghanistan.

 

The region is also a traditional foreign policy priority of the Kremlin, and the creation of the Greater Eurasian Partnership is part of Putin's initiative.

 

As reported by IndianNarative.com, a few days before his visit to the Indian capital, Putin saw India as one of the Centers of a Multipolar World, a strong independent one, with a foreign policy There are philosophies and priorities, which are close to us.

 

Central Asian countries had followed the Russian leader during the third meeting of the India-Central Asia Dialogue on December 19, outlining the civilizational, cultural, trade and people-to-people ties between India and their countries.

 

Not only this, the foreign ministers of Central Asian countries called India as their strategic partner and on the other hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that they will continue to be India's extended neighbor and promote wider cooperation between the countries of Central Asia and South Asia. Every effort should be made to strengthen which India is ready to provide maximum assistance.

Experts believe that these incidents are surprisingly enough to make Beijing uncomfortable.

 

In an interview with the Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Russian defense analyst Ruslan Pukhov, who is also director of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, said the intensity of India's diplomatic efforts and its talks with Russia in Central Asia are certain. will not please Beijing.

 

After all, poor countries are forced to agree to borrow from China on any condition, said Pukhov, even at the risk of being in debt. And now the PRC appears to have a competitor.

The defense expert admitted that India's ambitions may cause some inconvenience to Russia as well, but Delhi does not want to weaken Moscow's position at all.

 

But the Central Asian regime, which is economically and militarily dependent on Moscow, now has room for maneuver, he said. They can bargain with us.

 

However, sources tell indianarritv.com that India's engagement with the region will be in keeping with Russian interests.

 

New Delhi and Moscow have promised comprehensive military-technical cooperation by 2030, with both working together on joint manufacturing of military equipment in Central Asia, benefiting all partners.

 

In addition, unlike China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Iran has an inter-connected Eurasia through the development of the Chabahar port and a landlocked area through the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). New Delhi's efforts to increase connectivity with India shine a light on India's internationalism. It also presents India's vision of always seeing the world as one family.

 

While Beijing is making inroads into several Central Asian countries through the BRI, members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) have become uncomfortable with the growing Chinese presence through various infrastructure projects.

 

India, on the other hand, has always insisted that connectivity projects to build modern arteries of commerce must follow the most basic principle of international relations, respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity.

 

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said that respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations is at the fore. It is also important that connectivity construction be a participatory and consensual exercise based on financial viability and local ownership. They should not serve other agendas.

 

He said this while addressing the sixth ministerial meeting of the Conference on Dialogue and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan last October.

In the rapidly changing geopolitical scenario, countries like Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan have appreciated India's role in the sustainable and stable development of the region.

 

On Republic Day later this month and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and the Central Asian states, the visit of the heads of state of these countries as special guests may also mark a new high in early 2022. .
