India Doesn't Believe in the New World Order: Rajnath Singh

India Doesn’t Believe in the New World Order: On Friday, the Indian Minister for Defence said that India stands for a free and open Indo-Pacific region. He believes the economic development of the region will benefit from a rules-based plan, just as it would for a global audience.

He claimed that India doesn’t believe in a world order where some are better than others.

At the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi, he delivered a keynote address about India’s vision for the region. He quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi who made a statement during Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

The Prime Minister said that India stands for a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific region. This region embraces all of us, with each country wanting progress and prosperity. Our common security demands us to have a common rules-based order; one of the first steps is through dialogue to establish ASEAN centrality in the region.

PM Modi stressed that dialogue is the only way to resolve disputes and disagreements, in addition to having global peace. His words were echoed by leaders of the G-20 summit, who said “Now is not the time for war.”

As the quality of life deteriorates because of climate change and poverty, war is becoming more frequent. These challenges are much too big to fight them separately. As Rajnath Singh said, “In the times when humanity is facing problems like Covid-19 pandemic and widespread deprivation, it is essential that we all work together to surmount these mammoth challenges, without being distracted by destructive seduction of wars and conflicts.”

He said that they could start by strengthening trade and connectivity, building capacity, and improving infrastructure. He stressed the need to leverage these things collectively for a happier and more satisfying future.

The Defence Minister has announced a few initiatives during the India-ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting, which were held in Cambodia earlier this week.

Singh said that it was a moral responsibility to work towards creating a secure and just world, exhorting the international community to consider security as a collective enterprise. He says this would create an order which benefits all nations.

“The pursuit of national security should not be considered as a zero-sum game and we need to pursue it in a way that benefits everyone, not just ourselves. We should be guided by enlightened self-interest which is sustainable and resilient to shocks. A strong and prosperous India would not be built at the cost of others but rather, would help other countries to realize their full potential.”

Speaking at a conference, the head of UN Security Council noted that many different networks have been working together but there is a need to go one step further.

He talked about how collective security needs to change to a point where it deals with everyone’s interests and includes security for all nations.
