The Indo-Pacific area and Asia have seen a major shift in global politics in the twenty- first century. This change emphasises a strong marine focus and is driven by globalisation; connectivity, and economic interdependence. This study tries to argued that New Delhi is in favour of the promotion of a multilateral world order. China's assertive and aggressive posture in the Indo- Pacific. particularly in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean- has created apprehension among stakeholders of the region. Given this situation, India is progressively supporting programmes like the Quad to work together to address regional issues. Since the Indo- Pacific region is too complicated for any one country to handle alone, inclusive strategies and collaborations are crucial to maintaining peace and security in the area. Therefore, inclusive approaches and strategies at the national, regional, and global levels are required to ensure the security of all stakeholders.
