摘要

近年来,“印度-太平洋”一词已经从其起源的“生物地理学”领域转向了“地缘政治学”领域,如今,印度-太平洋地区已经成为世界海洋领域的重心。在空间上,印太地区是指一个以海洋为主的空间,就印度而言,包括西亚和非洲的所有沿海国家;它横跨整个印度洋,包围东南亚(东盟),延伸到西太平洋,包括东亚和东北亚的沿海地区(包括朝鲜和韩国,日本和中国),甚至越过澳大利亚和新西兰,进入南太平洋岛国的蔓延。印太地区的广阔,体现在它将三大洲和众多国家联系在一起,这些国家对该地区有着不同的看法和期望。鉴于印度太平洋地区的多样性和海上动荡,我们国家海事基金会决定重新命名我们的旗舰会议。因此,今年的年度海上力量会议更名为印度-太平洋地区对话,简称IPRD。这次对话是印度海军在印度-太平洋地区举行的一系列最高级会议中的第一次,是在国家海事基金会作为知识合作伙伴和印度海军作为牵头国家机构的无缝伙伴关系下进行的。这种变化,在“名字里有什么”这句俏皮话中体现了出来,它把我们带到了一条以惊人的结果结束的道路上。要回答的问题一大堆,没完没了。一些核心问题包括;从印度及其海上邻国的角度来看,可能定义印度太平洋安全动态的中心节点是什么?该地区更重大的海上挑战是什么?印度应该采取什么战略来降低风险?也许更重要的是,既然每一个挑战同时也是一个机会,那么摆在印度海事政策制定者、政策制定者和这些政策实践者面前的机会是什么呢?其他地区国家如何应对印度和印太地区其他主要国家的地缘政治博弈?为期两天的会议在四个主题下审议了这些问题和许多其他问题。首先,海洋货物贸易的增长和脆弱性,其环境敏感的发展是蓝色经济的重要组成部分。二是“一带一路”倡议、国际南北运输走廊、亚非增长走廊、MAUSAM项目、总理阁下提出的SAGAR等区域互联互通模式。该主题还包括审查区域海事结构,例如国际海事组织、国际海事组织和世界海事系统,以加强海事合作。第三,海洋空间全面数字化和海洋领域网络恶意的挑战。此外,还就印太地区整体海洋环境的泛区域变化和挑战进行了讨论。第四,海运业在加强整体海上安全方面的作用,以及私营和公共部门之间建立合资伙伴关系的途径

From the Chairman’s desk
The term ‘Indo-Pacific’ has, in recent years, moved quite decisively from its origins within the discipline of ‘biogeography’ to the realms of ‘geopolitics’, and today the Indo-Pacific Region has emerged as the world’s centre of gravity in the maritime domain. In spatial terms, the Indo-Pacific Region refers to a predominantly maritime space which, insofar as India is concerned, incorporates all littoral states of West Asia and Africa; goes right across the Indian Ocean in its entirety, envelops SE Asia (ASEAN), stretches into the Western Pacific to include the littorals of East and Northeast Asia (including North and South Korea, Japan and China), and even reaches across Australia and New Zealand into the sprawl of Southern Pacific Island nations. The vastness of the Indo-Pacific Region is explicit in the connection it provides three continents and a multitude of nations, all with differing perspectives and expectations from the region. Given the diversity and the maritime turmoil the Indo-Pacific Region is witnessing, we, at the National Maritime Foundation, decided to rebrand our Flagship conference. Accordingly, this year the Annual Maritime Power Conference was renamed as the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue, referred to as the IPRD. The dialogue, first in a series of the Indian Navy’s apex level conference on the Indo-Pacific was conducted in seamless partnership with the National Maritime Foundation as the knowledge partner, and the Indian Navy as the lead state agency. This change, personified in the quip, What’s in a Name, took us down a path which ended in amazing results. The host of questions to be answered were never ending. Some of the central questions included; What are the central nodes that might define the security dynamics of the Indo Pacific from India’s perspective and the perspectives of its maritime neighbours? What are the more significant maritime challenges in this region and what ought to be India’s strategies for risk-mitigation? Perhaps even more importantly, since every challenge is simultaneously an opportunity, what are the opportunities that present themselves before India’s maritime policy-shapers, policy-makers, and, the practitioners of these policies? How could other regional players react to the geopolitical game-moves by India and other major players within the Indo-Pacific? These questions and a host of other issues were deliberated during the two day conference under four themes. Firstly, the growth and vulnerabilities of maritime merchandise trade, whose environmentally-sensitive development is an important constituent of the Blue Economy.
