Abstract: 
  • The region is central to global governance, with rising powers like China and India influencing security, economic, and diplomatic dynamics.
  • The essay proposes a multi-tiered security framework that integrates existing partnerships and mechanisms to address geopolitical tensions.
  • The IP-RSF would strengthen regional maritime security by fostering cooperation, transparency, and deterrence against illegal activities.
  • A coordinated approach to cyber threats would enhance regional cybersecurity resilience and establish norms for responsible cyber behaviour.
  • A dedicated diplomatic forum would provide a platform for ongoing cooperation and dialogue on Indo-Pacific security challenges.
