According to Manoj Kewalramani, China Studies fellow at Bengaluru-based Takshashila Institution, the Indo-Pacific nations have to learn from Taiwan’s domain expertise and with Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific group has a plethora of things to do.

He thinks the strategic significance of Taiwan is often ignored. India and the inmates of the Indo-Pacific should engage with Taiwan and learn from its successful experiences, suggested Kewalramani.

Speaking to The New Indian, Kewalramani opined, “Taiwan has deep expertise in many areas, including maritime governance, fisheries, disaster management and preparation for earthquakes and tsunamies. Taiwan’s experience should be shared with the Indo-Pacific countries.” 

“Greater engagement with Taiwan is required for the benefit of the Indo-Pacific, and it should not be politicised,” Kewalramani told The New Indian.
