YEAR-WISE DEVELOPMENTS

2024: pacts

July 16, 2024: The Times of India


New Delhi : India signed an MoU with Marshall Islands for implementation of four community development projects in what is one of the 14 strategically important Pacific Islands Countries which have been courted by both China and the US.


Foreign minister S Jaishankar said on the occasion India considers its responsibility to support the Pacific Islands in their quest for sustainable development. “Climate change, natural disasters, poverty alleviation and healthcare are common challenges that we need to address together. And India is privileged to be a partner of the Pacific Islands in that regard,” he said.


India has been looking to expand cooperation with the Pacific Islands under the aegis of the Forum of India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC). PM Narendra Modi had travelled to Papua New Guinea last year for the 3rd FIPIC summit.
Jaishankar said India recognises the priorities and needs of the Pacific Island nations. “Healthcare and related infrastructure, quality and affordable medicines, wellness and lifestyle, centres of excellence, education and capacity building, development of SME sector, renewable energy and clean water facilities; all these are some of the focus areas of our cooperation. India is always ready to do more with our Indo-Pacific partners,” he said.
