Jammu, July 8 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visits to Cyprus, Seychelles and Indonesia have not only enhanced India's influence in the Indian Ocean region but also advanced several long-term interests and strengthened the national security landscape. The geographical locations of these three nations are significant not only from a strategic standpoint but also in terms of commercial ties. These visits reinforce India's 'Global South' approach and position the country as a champion for smaller nations. During these visits, Modi advocated for small island nations on the global stage and called for collective global action against climate change based on the principles of equity and shared responsibility.
