Does I2U2 have a security dimension?<\/h5>\n

No, the I2U2 has not yet acquired a security dimension. But the US views I2U2 as a complement to its China-centred security initiatives in the Indo-Pacific(Quad). Further, I2U2 is also referred to as a \u201cwestern Asian Quad.\u201d So, there is a high possibility like Quad, the I2U2 might acquire a security dimension.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: Initially the Quad started as a joint response to the devastation in the region caused by the Tsunami in 2004.<\/p>\n

What does India need to do?<\/h5>\n

Given the tensions between India and China, India has to downplay the idea of a West Asian Quad and focus on the collaborations that will enhance the country\u2019s developmental needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
