Why India is develo its maiden deep-sea port in Indonesia

印度为何要在印度尼西亚开发首个深海港口

NEW DELHI: India is develo its maiden deep-sea port in Indonesia's Sabang, not far from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, amid 's attempts to have a greater say in the region through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The port will be key to India's Indo-Pacific strategy.

新德里: 在试图通过“一带一路”倡议在该地区获取更大的话语权之际，印度正在印尼沙璜开发首个深海港口，距离安达曼和尼科巴群岛不远。该港口将是印度印太战略的关键。

The port will give India better access to the South East Asian markets and provide a strategic hedge at a time is increasing its presence in the Strait of Malacca (as also the larger Indian Ocean).

该港口将使印度更好地进入东南亚市场，并在增加其在马六甲海峡(以及印度洋)的存在之际，提供战略对冲。

Despite the Look East Policy, tracing back to the days of then PM Narasimha Rao, India's relationship with ASEAN nations have largely been trade-oriented. But the rise of in the waters of Indo-Pacific (and its economic clout) calls for a new approach to the region. Hence, the reason the Narendra Modi government has upgraded its policy to Act East.

尽管“东望政策”可追溯到时任印度总理纳拉辛哈•拉奥时期，印度与东盟国家的关系在很大程度上是以贸易为导向的。但由于在印太地区的崛起(及其经济影响力)，印度对该地区要采取新的策略。因此，莫迪政府将政策升级为“东进政策”。

But countering in the region is easier said than done. For one, is the largest trade partner to ASEAN, increasing from $192 billion in 2008 to $515 billion by 2018. Then there is the BRI, through which has spent about $400 billion. Also, 's focus on Indo-Pacific region is aimed at displacing the US from the region — American military bases in Guam, Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean) as well as in Darwin (Australia), and its economic ties with the region ensure its primacy. But that mission threatens India as well, considering the nature of the relationship between and New Delhi.

但在该地区对抗说起来容易做起来难。首先，是东盟最大的贸易伙伴，贸易额从2008年的1920亿美元增加到2018年的5150亿美元。其次是“一带一路”倡议，已通过该倡议投入约4000亿美元。此外，对印太地区的关注旨在取代美国在该地区的地位——美国在关岛、迭戈加西亚(印度洋)以及达尔文(澳大利亚)拥有军事基地，其与该地区的经济联系确保了其主导地位。但考虑到中印关系的性质，这一使命也对印度构成了威胁。

Hence, strategic partnerships with Indo-Pacific nations help.

因此，与印太国家建立战略伙伴关系是有帮助的。

During PM Modi's visit to Indonesia last year, the two nations had agreed on a "Shared vision of maritime co-operation in the Indo-Pacific". Connectivity with Sabang port was identified as a key priority area within that vision.

去年莫迪总理访问印尼期间，两国就“印太海上合作的共同愿景”达成一致。与萨班港的连接被确定为该愿景中的一个关键优先领域。

Following this, an Indian naval ship, INS Sumitra, visited Sabang for the first time last July. Now an Indian Coast Guard ship, Vijit, has visited the port (from March 17-20).

随后，印度海军舰艇“苏米特拉”号于去年7月首次访问了沙璜。现在，印度海岸警卫队的“Vijit号”也已访问了这个港口(从3月17日到20日)。

India is also strengthening its forces in the Andamans. The Indian Navy recently commissioned its third (and India's fourth) air base in the islands.

印度也在加强其在安达曼的军事力量。印度海军最近在这些岛屿上建立了第三个(也是印度的第四个)空军基地。

做得好。印度和其他国家的关系很好，这对我们有益。在许多方面围绕竞争对手进行了战略布局。在莫迪上任之前，政府从未考虑过与邻国和其他国家建立战略关系的必要性。而这些国家希望成为印度的合作伙伴，以遏制。这一切都是莫迪的功劳。

I must say in Modi''s era, the Indian foreign policy is consistent with the international developments and to contain in Indian interest. , one must realize, is enclosing India to strangulate. India is responding well in an aggressive manner. This is the correct approach. The congress government had no stomach for such bold actions as they focused on corruption and filling their stomachs. Honestly voters should recognize this and drive away congress. Worst is if Rahul and Priyanka get elected and congress gets a majority. Come on Indians. Vote as per the national interests. Not dynasty. Gandhi family has looted the country.

在莫迪时代，印度的外交政策符合国际形势发展，遏制符合印度利益。我们必须认识到，正在包围印度，让印度窒息。印度正在积极应对。这是正确的做法。国大党政府不愿意采取如此大胆的行动，他们一门心思想着如何填满自己的腰包。选民应该意识到这一点，赶走国大党。最糟糕的情况是，拉胡尔和普里扬卡当选，国大党获得多数席位。印度人，投票时要考虑国家利益。甘地家族洗劫了这个国家。

Once India becomes rich like all pieces of the puzzle will fall in place. The main issue is has deep pockets whereas India still dreams of its past. Indian culture is the biggest stumbling block to become a rich country, along with its resulting booming population of mostly poor uneducated labor force. We cant become rich when our women cant be part of the GDP nor be free to live their lives as western or eastern women do.

一旦印度像一样富裕起来，所有的难题都将迎刃而解。主要问题是，财力雄厚，而印度仍沉迷过去。文化是印度成为一个富裕国家的最大绊脚石，其次是人口激增，其中大部分是没有受过教育的贫困劳动力。如果我们的妇女不能为GDP做贡献，不能像西方或东方妇女那样自由地生活，我们就富裕不起来。
