The Pacific Islands and the Indo-Pacific Regional Construction?

One characterized by its insularity and remoteness from major sea trade routes, the Pacific Ocean region is becoming a focal point of international relations.

Numerous regional powers also exert a growing influence by addressing bilateral and minilateral policies towards Pacific Island countries. The emergence of the Indo-Pacific framework, a new concept in international relations adopted by many regional powers, questions the significance of the Pacific Ocean region within this new geopolitical landscape.
