Thank FM @Antonio_Tajani of Italy for the welcome and hospitality. Noted that the Indo-Pacific is experiencing significant changes including new convergences & partnerships as well as anxieties, frictions & stresses."

The EAM also said that the evolution of Quad has been a notable development and the Indo-Pacific landscape today creates a compelling argument for a wider collaborative approach.

EAM Jaishankar and Italian Foreign Minister Tajani also highlighted six key responses required in the Indo-Pacific region such as more collaborations in areas like maritime, semiconductors, supply chains, etc; more resources, both to support greater activities and projects as well as to avoid bad borrowing and unsustainable debt; more capacities in fields like governance, health, technology, disaster resilience and natural resource management; more inter-operability and burden sharing to service the global commons and contribute to global good; respect for international law as well as for mutuality of benefits as well as more options so that Indo-Pacific policymakers can make the right choices.

"In an era of collaborative endeavours, the Indo-Pacific will require practical solutions, nimble diplomacy, greater adjustment and more open conversations. The G7 can be one such partner," EAM Jaishankar added.
