India ke Bold Diplomatic Moves: PM Modi ke Brunei aur Singapore ke daure ne China ki regional dominance ko challenge kiya.

Indo-Pacific mein China ke badhte dabdabe ke jawab mein, Pradhan Mantri Narendra Modi 3 se 5 September, 2024 ke beech Brunei aur Singapore ke ek mahatvapurn diplomatic mission par ja rahe hain. Yeh daura na sirf Southeast Asia ke saath Bharat ke badhte sambandhon ko darshata hai, balki poore Indo-Pacific kshetra mein ‘Act East’ policy ki mahatvapurn strategy ko bhi zor deta hai.

First Leg

Brunei ka yeh daura vishesh roop se itihaasik hai, kyunki yeh pehli baar hoga jab koi Bharatiya Pradhan Mantri Sultanate ke liye ek dwipakshiy daura karega. Yeh trip 3-4 September ke liye nirdharit hai aur Bharat aur Brunei ke beech kutniti sambandhon ke 40 saal poore hone ke mauke par ho raha hai. Is mahatvapurn pal ke jashn ke dauraan, PM Modi ka yeh daura raksha, vyapar, urja, space technology, healthcare, aur sanskritik adan-pradan jaise kshetron mein donon deshon ke sambandhon ko aur majboot karega.

Brunei ka strategic significance aur ‘Act East’ policy

Brunei ka Bharat ki ‘Act East’ policy mein mahatvapurn yogdan ko nazarandaaz nahi kiya ja sakta. Yeh chhota sa Southeast Asian desh, Bharat ke ek sthir aur samruddh Indo-Pacific ki drishti ke liye mahatvapurn bhoomika nibhata hai. Yeh daura, samudri suraksha aur kshetriya sthirta jaise kshetron mein sahyog ko majboot karega, jo Bharat ke apne Southeast Asian padosiyon ke saath sambandh ko majboot karne ki pratibaddhata ko pradarshit karta hai. Charcha ke dauraan naye sahyog ke raaste talashe ja sakte hain, jo technology mein pragati aur sthai vikas mein saajha pahelon ko shamil kar sakte hain.

Second Leg

Brunei ke daure ke baad, PM Modi 4-5 September ke beech Singapore ke daure par jaenge, jo ki Pradhan Mantri Lawrence Wong ke nimantran par ho raha hai. Is daure ka mukhya focus Bharat aur Singapore ke Strategic Partnership mein pragati ka samiksha karna hoga, khaas kar arthik aur takneeki sambandhon ko majboot karne par. PM Modi Singapore ke Rashtrapati Tharman Shanmugaratnam se mulaqat karenge aur vahan ke pramukh vyavsayik netaon se bhi samvaad karenge. Yeh sabhi mulaqatain aur samvaad milkar sahyog aur nivesh ke avsar talashne par kendrit rahenge, khaaskar un kshetron mein jo haal hi mein hui dusri India-Singapore Ministerial Dialogue (ISMR) ke dauran highlight kiye gaye the.

ISMR Aur Aane Wala Sahyog

26 August 2024 ko hui ISMR (India-Singapore Ministerial Dialogue) ne bhavishya ke sahyog ke mukhya kshetron ko nirdharit kiya, jisme digital innovation, skill development, sustainability, healthcare, connectivity, aur advanced manufacturing shamil hain. In vartaon mein Bharatiya mantriyon — Videsh Mantri S Jaishankar, Vitt Mantri Nirmala Sitharaman, aur Vyapar Mantri Piyush Goyal ne bhaag liya, jinhone Singapore mein hone wali uchch-stariya varta ke liye maidan taiyaar kiya. Jaishankar ne in engagements ki mahatva ko zor dete hue kaha ki bhot prabhavshali pragati hui hai aur Bharat-Singapore Strategic Partnership ko aage badhane ke liye lagataar pratyaya hai.

Indo-Pacific Aur Act East Policy

Bharat ka Southeast Asia par badhta dhyan aur Indo-Pacific ki taraf uska strategic mod kshetr mein China ke badhte prabhav ko samantar karne ki zarurat se prerit hai. Jaisa ki China arthik aur saiyanik madhyam se apni maujoodgi ko badhata ja raha hai, waise hi Bharat ka Brunei aur Singapore ke saath sambandh badhana ek vishal rananiti ka hissa hai jiska uddeshya majboot kshetriya gathjod banana aur Indo-Pacific mein sthirta ko badhava dena hai. In sambandhon ko majboot karke, Bharat ka lakshya hai ki wah kshetriya suraksha aur arthik ekikaran mein ek mahatvapurn kirdar nibhaye.

Modi ke aane wale daure Bharat ke kootnaitik aur rananiti footprint ko Southeast Asia mein majboot karne ke liye taiyaar hain. Yeh uchch-stariya vartalap na sirf Brunei aur Singapore ke saath Bharat ke do-pakshiya sambandhon mein ek mahatvapurn kshan ko darshate hain, balki ‘Act East’ policy ke vishal lakshyon ke saath ek rananitik samanta ka sanket bhi dete hain. Jaise hi Bharat kshetriya rajneeti ki jatilta ko samajhne ki koshish kar raha hai, yeh engagements ek sthir aur sahkari Indo-Pacific paridrishya ko gathit karne mein mahatvapurn bhumika nibhayenge.
