CHAPTER 6

CONCLUSION

The One Belt One Road (OBOR) project is a world development strategy developed by
the Chinese government for direct investment in infrastructure development in Africa,
Europe and Asia. t would be pointless to say that India is a country that unites everything.
It is a possible crossroads of land and sea. Direction time will be required to look in a
new direction. This can be a basis for better coordination and cooperation between the
governments of the region. India should make better use of them. India, of course, will
have to assert its sovereignty, but once the project is implemented, the division will be
difficult.

The project, instead of being used for political gain, should be used for greater political-
social purposes, large enough to grasp ideologies. India and China should see the
situation as a whole. India is not currently involved in the OBOR project. China is trying
to integrate South Asia with Eurasia and demands the involvement of India. This does not
mean that India should not seek an explanation from Beijing for its plans. India must
resort to this transformation. India and China must ensure that its economic cooperation
does not affect political differences. A sense of well-being does not mean that problems
have spread. However, India has considered this project. India is concerned that the
OBOR project,

I OBOR is abolishing the international rules and standards.

II Weakening of India‘s sovereignty claims over disputed border areas if it joins the

Campaign as CPEC goes through POJK (now Ladak occupied Jammu Kashmir

(LOJK)

III China‘s financial aid has great influence to India‘s neighboring countries.

India has stayed away from the OBOR citing issues of sovereignty, procedures and
leadership. China-Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC), which passes through Kashmir
(POJK- now Ladak occupied Jammu Kashmir) in Pakistan, the main reason why India
did not participate. It seems that China should know about India's claims against POJK.

India has also expressed concern over infrastructure project arrangements on how to
clarify debt repayment. China is in favor of using a "new kind of international
friendship", and building partnerships beyond alliances opens the door to movement.
Understanding the Sri Lankan Navy, Eight Submarines Sold to Pakistan, Adding
Facilities to the Port of Guadarou Dj Building Djibouti Bases in Africa are concrete
solutions that will affect India.

India has doubts about the China OBOR Project paper. OBOR financing remains largely
unexplained and Chinese foreign banks as expected by the Exim Development Bank of
China and China Development Bank that some countries have made too much money of
themselves.It also seems to be a utopian vision, as it requires cooperation between
governments, business and civil society. Chinese financial institutions may not want to
take the risk, as the level of profitability is not yet clear.

The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi speaks about the "Make in India" campaign.
But in order for this aspiration to reach its full potential, it is vital that India foster ties
that pave the way for new complex export markets, such as trade routes.It is strong in
place and economically viable that connects the North East country with Bangladesh and
Myanmar.

India already has many projects similar to the OBOR program in China. The Indian
Mausam project aims to expand ties between the countries of the Indian Ocean region,
citing common cultural values, and Buddhism as a soft power diplomacy. India is also
trying to connect other companies, such as Digital India, that can be connected to the
"Information Channel", where it will be possible to connect telecommunications between
countries through fiber-optic cables, cargo boats and ships. Beijing has also expressed
interest in linking these projects to its initiative.

The Indian administration has also worked to help improve regional ties. During his
recent trip to Turkmenistan, Modi offered an alternative to the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan
Pakistan India (TAPI) gas pipeline to transport Turkmen gas by sea via Iran.

India is also working on the North-South International Transit Initiative (INSTC), which
will build a deep port in the Iranian coastal city of Kabar. This will allow India to enter

161
the Central Asian market, which is surrounded by China and Pakistan. Recently, it was
proposed to build the Oman-India Multifunctional Gas Pipeline (OIMPP) to transport
Iranian natural gas through Oman to Gujarat. This will make gas imports to India much
more cost effective. The same pipeline system can also be used to transport natural gas
from Qatar.

Needless to say, India is a country where everything is there. There is a wonderful

crossroads between land and sea, silk roads. It might be time for us to think again—it
could be the foundation of stronger collaboration between state governments and
cooperation. The way it is used for its own benefit by India relies on it. India would
undoubtedly defend its dominance, but if the proposal materialises, it would be
impossible to discern.

The CPEC is to support Central Asian landlocked countries. It provides the oil-rich Gulf
area with a modern quick trading path. It would connect to the sea path. It does not rely
on Indian cooperation to render this path viable. Decisions surrounding OBOR thus
remain a paradox. Afghanistan's Pacific Ocean programmes and talks are not private
choices. India's opinions tend to shift, and confrontation is substituted with a majority.
Both countries understand the secret in boosting development in the South Asian region
is economic cooperation. It is about time that geopolitics were scrapped and a new future
has been looked forward.

The project should be used for the most benefit of political and social purposes, and fairly
wide to satisfy philosophies, instead of acting as political dominance. The condition must
be seen in a systemic way by India and China. India's OBOR programme is currently
neglected. China is forecast to continue to merge South Asia with Eurasia and the
Indians. This does not mean that India is not seeking to explain the plans of Beijing. This
transformation should be asserted by India. India as well as China could ensure that
economic cooperation is not hampered by their political differences. The feeling of
pleasure and positiveness does not mean that issues are resolved. The boundary
controversy remains the same as in India, the Dalai Lama.

162
The main role of the BRI is to control global issues in the overall geopolitical sector of
China. The project has already developed itself in the IPR and now includes European
and Latin American countries. China's Haifa Port operational control in Israel and
Greece's Piraeus Port represent Chinese strategic inroads by economic BRI ventures.

However, in countries where high debt has affected the overall national economy policy,
there are signs of their strength. Both Sri Lanka and Malaysia's new government
restructure BRI schemes for operational capacity under Mahathir Mohamad. President
Abdulla Yammen's latest defeat in the polls in Maldives can be seen in the same vein.
However, Peking may use the high degree of debt to retain its power even after the
government reforms, as is evident in the Sri Lanka situation.

Moreover, Indian officials could not expect BRI's own weight to fall. In global relations,
intervention is urgently needed to sustain India's regional dominance and emerging
powers. In India it must take caution not to engage in 'The Grand Game' in order to
ensure its peaceful rise. India will help preserve regional equilibrium in IPR by close
partnerships with nations with shared interests. Likewise, a security deal with the US
might offer India a stronger voice in multilateral forums without interfering with strategic
autonomy.

The course taken is better expressed in the speech made by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on 1 June 2018 at the Shangri La Dialogue, which recognises "shifts in world
influence... Issues unanswered and conflicts not resolved; competitions and complaints;
visions of strife and contrasting models." India envisages a future "when nations stand
side by side with principles and not behind one power or another." India therefore
maintains its "conceptions on the need for a strong multi-polar international order," thus
retaining "the United States' overall strategic partnerships," which involve a "shared
vision of an open, stable and safe Indo-Pacific region." In Wuhan Summit, "has allowed
us to build our understanding of the importance of global peace and progress for strong
and stable relations between our two countries," stressed PM Modi, "Asia and the world
will have a better future when India and China work together confidently and with mutual
concern." The vision of India is thus defined in one phrase – "ASGAR for security and
growth for everyone in the region".

As it has become popular, the 'Belt & Road' policy is a crucial concept for China's
ambitions to re-establish both the Silk Route Economic Belt on the overland and the Sea
Seal Route of 21st Century. This strategy is intended to improve Asia, Europe and
Africa's connectivity through economic exchange. Once the two trading roads are built,
they would move through a region that constitutes about two thirds of the global
populace, creating about one tiers of the global gross domestic product. The OBOR
initiative, directly looking at its aims, how it applies to tradition, how geographical
disparities in South China Sea (SCS) inspire foreign political apprehension and how
China's ties with India are destabilised. The review of the official foreign and domestic
policy goals will begin with success in three sections. It is argued that China's proposed
Belt & Road policy is directly related to the Maritime Silk Route past. The goal is to
analysis India's strategic policies in this field, India's security problems in this region in
the sense of China, India's economic interests in this area and a good relationship with
India's countries.

In this thesis the secondary and the main sources were accessed via an investigation
focused on qualitative approaches. In the secondary records, magazines, academic
articles, accounts, protection and corporate laws were chosen. The key data where chosen
from the interview with the leaders, bureaucrats, in each region, telephone interviews, e-
mail interviews. Randomly, the analysis was included.

BRI is a strategic project for China's expansion rather than just an economic project. The
project has already developed itself in the IPR and now includes European and Latin
American countries. China's Haifa Port operational control in Israel and Greece's Piraeus
Port represent Chinese strategic inroads by economic BRI ventures.

Moreover, Indian officials could not expect BRI's own weight to fall. In global relations,
intervention is urgently needed to sustain India's regional dominance and emerging
powers. In India it must take caution not to engage in 'The Grand Game' in order to
ensure its peaceful rise. India will help preserve regional equilibrium in IPR by close
partnerships with nations with shared interests. Likewise, a security deal with the United
States could offer India a stronger voice in multilateral forums without affecting strategic
autonomy.
