| Summary: | India and China, though non-Arctic states, have been active in the Arctic region. Both these countries were granted an ‘Observer’ status in the Arctic Council, a forum of all Arctic nations. India’s prime interest in Arctic is scientific as the changing climate can affect its monsoonal pattern and impact its food security. China’s main interest is strategic and economic development of Arctic as well as climate change and has clear policy on these aspects. India is in process of formulating its policy; it has already prepared a draft. Various aspects of India and China’s engagements in Arctic have been discussed. The development of the Arctic should be for a global good, while preserving its environment. |
