Jagdeep Dhankhar today highlighted that the immense unexploited wealth in seas makes them the new frontier for contestation among global players and stressed the need for a regulatory regime and its effective enforcement to contain the possibility of contesting claims of the seas and its assets.
Delivering the keynote address at the 2023 edition of the “Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue '' in New Delhi today, VP said that as the fastest growing economy, India seeks a free and peaceful rule-based Indo-Pacific region with open and unrestricted flow of lawful legitimate commerce. Calling for freedom for navigation and over-flight in accordance with established international Laws and Conventions, Shri Dhankhar stressed, “We seek a just global regulatory regime that respects the right over EEZ, for the sustainable and equitable exploitation of marine resources and Sea-bed in high seas.”
