| Summary/Abstract |
The Indo-Pacific enormous scope for regional multilateralism to play a more important role than it has so far. Once it is recognized that economic cooperation, shared prosperity, and security challenges are no more sub-regional in nature but span the entire region, the Indo-Pacific will be better appreciated. Thus, the Indo-Pacific needs to be viewed in the larger perspective of offering more opportunities for cooperation than competition. Moreover, it is reflection of the rapidly changing geopolitical reference points. Thus, instead of looking at the Indo-Pacific idea with skepticism, it should be welcomed and promoted.
