New Delhi/Vientiane (Laos). Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is continuously making its strong presence felt on the international forum. The whole world has started acknowledging the strength of PM Modi's diplomacy. PM Modi's efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are being praised everywhere. Along with this, he does not hesitate to look into anyone's eyes for the benefit of the country. PM Modi was in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, to participate in the summit of ASEAN and EAS. China is located in the neighborhood of Laos. PM Modi went to the same Laos and prepared the basis for surrounding China. He has talked about increasing cooperation between ASEAN and QUAD from the platform of ASEAN and EAS, an organization of East Asian countries. He called for creating a new system in the Indo-Pacific region.

QUAD has been formed to curb China's increasing activities in the Indo-Pacific and Indian Ocean region. The full name of QUAD is Quadrilateral Security Dialogue. This grouping includes India as well as America, Australia and Japan. QUAD has been formed to counter China's increasing interference. Beijing has been strongly opposing it. Its member countries exchange security-related information so that China's activities can be detected in real-time and a befitting reply can be given.

Planning to crack down on China from the neighborhood,
PM Modi, while attending the EAS meeting, emphasized on increasing cooperation between ASEAN and QUAD. According to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, India's participation in the East Asia Summit reflects New Delhi's Look East policy. It is a strong pillar. Let us tell you that many countries in East Asia are having a dispute with China over the maritime border. China claims many parts of the Indo-Pacific region based on economic and military power. Beijing's dispute with countries like Japan, Vietnam, Philippines is not hidden from anyone. In such a situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on increasing cooperation between ASEAN and QUAD is strategically very important.

India-China relations:
China has often taken provocative actions. Be it Arunachal Pradesh or China's BRI-CPEC project. Apart from this, China has also carried out many such activities in the Indian Ocean, due to which it is very difficult to trust the neighboring country. Chinese aircraft and submarines have been seen many times in the Indian Ocean. China says that it keeps visiting sea areas for research under the free navigation policy. The surprising thing is that China does not give this information to any country. Now under the leadership of PM Modi, India has also intensified its efforts to surround China.
