Deciphering Modi’s speech at G7By Rup Narayan DasIndia’s nuanced yet clear and consistent stance on the Taiwan Strait can be deciphered and inferred from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address at the recent G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan. India’s response to the tension in the Taiwan Strait has been muted. Discernable observers could see the elephant in the room and India’s commitment to a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific, which is seamlessly connected with the Taiwan Strait. While Beijing frowned upon the pact as a “geopolitical game,” Russia criticized the G7 as an incubator for anti-Russian and anti-Chinese hysteria. Be that as it may, the G7 summit has reiterated once again its firm commitment to Taiwan and to a rules-based world order.
