Beijing: Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in India, Yu Jing, shared a quote by Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Guo Jiakun. Guo critiqued “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”. He said it goes against the regional countries’ shared aspirations.

Guo said that safeguarding the postwar international order and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter is the foundation of prosperity.

In a post on X, Yu said, “Spokesperson of MFA: The so-called concept of ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ goes against the regional countries’ shared aspirations for peace, development and cooperation, and will never win genuine recognition. In addition, safeguarding the postwar international order and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter is the foundation of prosperity and stability in the Asia-Pacific. It is also the shared responsibility of regional countries.

It is more imperative than ever for regional countries to uphold the right course of Asia-Pacific cooperation. Moreover, countries should work together to build an Asia-Pacific that is prosperous, stable, open, interconnected, universally beneficial, inclusive, united, and mutually supportive.”

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Thursday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s MAHASAGAR policy aligns with Japan’s free and open Indo-Pacific policy. Therefore, they agreed to deepen the strategic cooperation. They aim to achieve such common goals.

Takaichi, while delivering press statements with PM Modi, said that both leaders confirmed that they were on the same page. Additionally, they would develop this relationship as brother and sister.

“On the other hand, Prime Minister Modi positions the ocean as a shared space that supports regional stability and growth. Furthermore, he is promoting the MAHASAGAR, the Great Ocean Initiative for countries across the Indian Ocean to defend their sovereignty and the sea through their own efforts, which is perfectly aligned with FOIP (Free and Open Indo-Pacific policy).

Thus, we agreed to deepen the strategic cooperation between Japan and India to achieve such common goals. Expansion of maritime security cooperation is especially important for regional peace and stability,” she said.
