Ex-US NSA: India Vital in Curbing Chinaโ€™s Hegemony

In a recent article for the Washington Examiner, former US National Security Advisor (NSA) John Bolton commended Indiaโ€™s growing significance in US foreign relations, underscoring the necessity for strengthened bilateral cooperation and acknowledging New Delhiโ€™s expanding global role.

Bolton highlighted the collaborative efforts between the United States and India to counter Chinaโ€™s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a clear indication of Indiaโ€™s commitment to asserting influence globally. The BRI, a massive infrastructure project led by China, has raised concerns about Beijingโ€™s potential economic and political dominance across Asia and beyond.

Bolton asserted that India is undeniably a key player in containing Chinaโ€™s hegemonic ambitions across the expansive Indo-Pacific region. Drawing attention to an ongoing case involving former Indian naval officers in Qatar, he emphasized Indiaโ€™s intricate relationship with the Middle East and its willingness to engage in intelligence collaboration beyond traditional allies.

Discussing the ramifications of Israelโ€™s actions against Hamas and its Iranian supporters, Bolton highlighted both opportunities and risks for India in the complex Middle East region. He also pointed out strategic risks associated with a recent US loan of $553 million for a deep water container terminal project in Colombo, underscoring the significance of the Adani Groupโ€™s involvement in the project. Boltonโ€™s analysis reflects the evolving dynamics of Indiaโ€™s global role and the strategic considerations in its diplomatic engagements.
