India’s Bid to Break Out of Isolation Through the Indian Ocean Conference

India’s Bid to Break Out of Isolation Through the Indian Ocean Conference

India seeks to regain influence in the Global South through the 9th Indian Ocean Conference held in Port Louis, Mauritius from 10-12 April. Political observers note that India lost ground due to its missteps during the Iran-US war, where it remained silent while the Global South supported Iran. This silence, seen as covert alignment with the US and Israel, alienated India and undermined its legitimacy as BRICS president. Meanwhile, Pakistan and China were credited with facilitating a ceasefire. The Indian Ocean Conference, established in 2016, is a bloc of India's allies in the region.
