- In the body, you have to elaborate the basis on which India should be considered as the stakeholder in the region. Such basis could include the fact that region doesn’t belong to China, the passage has been unimpeded for centuries, India’s historical use of the passage, India’s freedom of navigation etc. And in the second part, you have to stress on the importance of India’s engagement with ASEAN in this regard-direct involvement as well as the trade partnerships like RCEP should be mentioned.
- Conclude the importance of peaceful South China Sea for the world and the Indo-Pacific specifically.
