Modi's hand made both the United States and Russia staggered
Modi's diplomatic victory! The United States and Russia jointly appeared in the Indian military exercise, which attracted global attention. The super-large-scale multinational joint maritime military exercise "Milan 2024" held by India this time can be described as huge, with 35 ships and 50 military aircraft from more than 50 countries participating in the exercise, among which the United States and Russia are even more at the same time, which is really rare. The United States dispatched the "Burke"-class missile destroyer, while Russia dispatched the "Varyag" missile cruiser, and the main ships of the two countries competed on the same stage, showing a great diplomatic victory for India.
India's move is undoubtedly demonstrating its naval strength to the world, especially by sending two aircraft carriers to participate, demonstrating its hegemony in the Indian Ocean region. What is more striking, however, is the involvement of the United States and Russia. As long-time enemies, the United States and Russia rarely participate in military exercises at the same time, let alone when military exchanges between the United States and Russia have been completely interrupted after the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This time, the two sides gathered in India for military exercises, which is really jaw-dropping.
The motivation of the United States is obvious, and it has been advancing the "Indo-Pacific strategy" aimed at containing China's influence in the Asia-Pacific region. India has a border dispute with China, so it has become an important pawn for the United States to contain China. Russia's motives are more direct, and they want to use this exercise to maintain their arms with India**. Russia has long been India's largest arms nation, but in recent years, Russia's share of the Indian market has declined due to the warming of US-India relations, so there is an urgent need to maintain military cooperation with India in this way.
Netizens have commented that this military exercise fully shows India's growing status on the international stage, and Modi's diplomatic strategy has achieved great success. They praised Modi's decisiveness and courage and saw his ability to lead India to a more important role in international affairs.
Therefore, this military exercise is not only a stage for India to demonstrate its naval strength, but also a victory show of Modi's diplomacy. Through this military exercise, India has successfully attracted the attention of the United States and Russia, gained more international attention and support, and opened up a new space for its development in international affairs.
However, we cannot deny that the complex diplomatic chess game behind this military exercise also highlights China's role and challenges in the regional security landscape. As the largest developing country in the world, China has tremendous influence and responsibility in the Asia-Pacific region. In the face of U.S. and Russian activities in the Indian Ocean, China needs to be more cautious in its foreign policy and strive to maintain peace and stability in the region.
In this multipolar world pattern, relations between countries are complicated and their interests are entangled. China needs to be more open, actively participate in regional cooperation, and promote common prosperity and development in the Asia-Pacific region. Only in this way can we better safeguard China's own interests and ensure regional security and stability.
Therefore, we should not only see India's diplomatic success, but also realize China's position and role in this process. China needs to firmly follow the path of peaceful development, live in harmony with its neighbors, and jointly build a harmonious and stable Asia-Pacific region. This is not only in China's national interests, but also in the common interests of the region and the world.
