“This APPG focus will be in the security paradigm in the Indo-Pacific and will include things related to geopolitics, radicalization, separation of Papua, separatism and terrorism in the continent and its impact globally and especially in the UK,” said Bob Blackman, APGG chair .
“Indo-Pacific quickly appeared as one of the most vital areas in post-brexit international order, post-pandemic.
It holds the key to the future of global trade,” he said.
“In recent years we have seen serious escalation in security situations with ongoing tensions with Pakistan at Jammu and Kashmir, Chinese aggression in Ladakh, continuing the impact of sponsored and radicalized cross-border terrorism in other paid elements,” Blackman said.
“I hope to fight false propaganda in the region and make the political parties be honest with information about the region and encourage more cooperation between the same-minded democracy with security issues,” Blackman added.
“This Appg will provide an opportunity to highlight the success seen in India for the past few years in increasing living standards and providing greater prosperity,” said Deputy Chairperson of Theresa Villiers.
APPG will promote cross-party visits to the region, dialogue with representatives from the region, cross community dialogue for regions and involvement with the Diaspora community in the UK.
