The United States has released a statement on its policy towards the Indo-Pacific region. It said India was currently surrounded by significant geopolitical challenges.
This challenge has arisen especially due to its position on China and the actual Line of Control.
The report, released on Friday, is the first report by President Joe Biden’s administration on the region.
The report underscores the growing cooperation between India and the United States, while sharply targeting China.
The report talks about strengthening the US position in the Indo-Pacific region and its regional leadership with India’s strong support.
The statement was tweeted by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
“Our Indo-Pacific strategy has a vision for an independent, unrestricted, connected, prosperous, secure and resilient region. As a country in the Indo-Pacific region, we are committed to working with our partners to realize that vision.”
“The United States and India will work together to improve stability in South Asia and continue to develop strategic cooperation through regional committees,” the White House said.
“At the same time we are cooperating in new areas such as health, space and cyberspace. We are deepening our economic and technological cooperation and working to maintain an independent, unrestricted Indo-Pacific region.”
The United States has said in a statement that India is a like-minded ally.

A senior US official, who did not want to be named, told the PTI news agency that India was facing significant challenges.
“India faces significant challenges. China’s conduct on the Line of Control has had a major impact on India. In our view, we see many opportunities to work with other democracies. The officer noted.
Praise for the Trump administration as well
The official who released the report said that former US governments, including the Trump administration, have done a great job in the Indo-Pacific region.
The statement was issued during a meeting of foreign ministers of the four countries. Quad countries include the United States, India, Japan and Australia. The two countries on Friday expressed concern over China’s growing influence in the region.
The report said that China is influencing the Indo-Pacific region due to its economic, strategic, military and technological strengths. China wants to be the most influential power in the world.

China’s occupation is said to be widespread, but most prevalent in the Indo – Pacific region.
From the economic pressure on Australia to the actual Line of Control (LoC) conflict with Taiwan and the intimidation of its neighbors in the East-South China Sea, our allies and allies have to bear the brunt of China’s behavior.
China is violating human rights and international law, the report said. These include maritime freedom and other policies that bring stability and prosperity to the Indo-Pacific region.

“Our joint efforts over the next decade will determine whether China changes its policies and regulations to benefit the Indo-Pacific region and the world,” the report added.
“The United States invests in the foundation of our strength through its efforts. It seeks to match its vision with its allies and allies. It also competes with China to protect our shared interests and vision for the future.”
“We will strengthen the international order. We will do this on the basis of shared values and reform it to meet the challenges of the 21st century,” the statement said.
“Our goal is not to change China, but to shape the strategic environment in which it operates, and to balance the influence in the world in a way that benefits the United States and its allies and allies.”
For 75 years, the United States has maintained a strong and lasting security presence to support regional peace, security, stability and prosperity, the report said. We are expanding and modernizing that role. It is increasing its capabilities to defend its interests and prevent aggression against the United States and its allies and allies.
