正文(英文) | It is the oceans that engendered life. .. Regional cooperation is an excellent platform for leveraging opportunities and transforming challenges to promote the health of, and harmony in, this ocean space of common heritage, for common good. Take the problem of plastic waste. and making it the world’s second most polluted ocean after the North Pacific.
South Asian countries have developed isolated projects to manage the ocean’s plastic waste. Once shredded, the plastic was sold to construction companies that used it to strengthen asphalt roads. With regional cooperation, lessons learned by the Kerala fishermen could benefit other countries.The formal basis for such cooperation is being laid. . The project also supports research and innovation grants to find and support alternatives to plastic.The Plastic-free Rivers and Seas for South Asia project aims to help build a circular economy for plastic that will stop plastic waste from leaking into the environment. The Indian Ocean Rim Association, whose two dozen member states stretch from Australia to South Africa and north to Iran and the United Arab Emirates, are watching the project and may expand it across the Indian Ocean. Under its surface lie state-of-the-art global communications technology. and in tranquility, to ensure optimum and shared benefits, and prosperity for all. For this purpose, it is essential for South Asian nations to work toward evolving a system where all communities that use the Indian Ocean pursue their aspirations and competing claims in accordance with international law, regional conventions, and age-old traditions. . This system should also enhance economic connectivity within South Asia and facilitate access to markets in the region and beyond, delivering goods and services at faster speeds, greater volumes, and lower costs. Without doubt, the Indian Ocean needs better overall management which, among other measures, requires:
Working in partnership with countries and sharing information, expertise, and best practices is essential as no single country can meet these maritime challenges on its own. Disputes must be settled within a rules-based system that follows international norms and transparent practices. . The results will benefit South Asia now and the generations to come. |
