6、n I setout in spring 2018,is based on the major ongoing strategic transformationsobserved in that space,and Frances role through its overseas departmentsand communities.Over 1.6 million French citizens live in these overseas territories,while threequarters of the French exclusive economic zone the w
7、orldssecond largest is located in the IndoPacific.Our armed forces provide a strongpresence of over 7,000 soldiers,which is essential to defend our sovereignty and tocontribute,alongside our main partners,to regional security.As a fullyfledged IndoPacific country,France also wants to be a stabilizin
8、g force,promoting the values of freedom and rule of law.We aim to provide solutionsto the security,economic,health,climate and environmental challenges facingcountries in the zone.The French IndoPacific strategy,which turns theseobjectives into concrete actions,is based on four main pillars.First,ou
9、r actions take place in the area of security and defence.We want theIndoPacific to remain an open and inclusive area,with each State observing eachothers sovereignty.In this zone,which is the epicentre of global maritime tradeand where tensions are appearing regarding maritime borders,it is essentia
10、l toensure freedom of navigation and overflight,in full compliance with the UnitedNations Convention on the Law of the Sea.The second main theme is economic,particularly the connectivity of physicaland digital infrastructures,which are sectors in which IndoPacific countries havehuge needs.Here too,p
11、romoting and complying with international standards,particularly regarding trade,is a priority.The third pillar involves promoting effective multilateralism,based on the rule oflaw and the rejection of coercion.Multilateralism,which involves all stakeholders,is the best framework in which to reduce
12、tensions and encourage cooperativeapproaches,rather than operating via blocks.And the need to work together hasbeen all the more obvious due to the COVID19 pandemic.We can only succeed4 by working together to tackle the latest particularly tough global health challengesin the IndoPacific region.The
13、fourth essential component of our strategy is our commitment to commongoods.It is largely the IndoPacific space that will determine our ability to meetour strict climate and biodiversity requirements.In this part of the world,Franceis promoting ambitious environmental diplomacy by mobilizing its par
14、tnersaround concrete initiatives for energy transition,the protection of biodiversityand sustainable ocean management.Finally,the IndoPacific must be one of the main priorities of our Europeanagenda.An increased European presence will enable us to better meet thechallenges of this vast region,where
15、the European Union has already forgedstrong partnerships.I look forward to the upcoming adoption of an ambitiousEU Strategy for Cooperation in the IndoPacific.Many initiatives have been developed over the past three years,and ourpartnerships with countries in the region have reached unprecedented le
16、velsof cooperation.But much remains to be done.Our aim is to help make theIndoPacific a free,safe and open space,which has high ambitions in termsof oceans,the climate and biodiversity,and is integrated with regard toinfrastructure and human exchanges.You can count on Frances full commitment.We will
17、 continue to play a full role in contributing to the stability of this newstrategic space,which is at the core of major global challenges.Emmanuel MacronPresident of the French Republic 5Forewordby the Minister for Europeand Foreign Af fairs ofthe French RepublicBecause the IndoPacific region is bec
18、oming the worlds strategic centreof gravity and because the security,economic,technological andenvironmental challenges emerging there are also ours,France and theEuropean Union have interests to defend,values to promote and partnershipsto forge there.That is one of the priorities of the European an
19、d international action of France,now acknowledged as a fullyfledged nation of the IndoPacific,not onlybecause of our overseas departments and communities and permanent militarypresence,but also because of our ability to take the initiative with our partnersand regarding their cooperation needs,thank
20、s to an exceptional networkof diplomatic and consular posts,government agencies,higher educationestablishments and scientific research institutes.Since the President of the Republics founding speech in Sydney in May 2018,we have worked to unite and to act.In this region marked by polarization and ri
21、sing tensions,we have proposed toour partners to move forward,with us,on the path of multilateral cooperationbased on law and respectful of all sovereignties.This approach clearly fulfils theaspirations of the main countries in the region,with which we have constantlystrengthened our ties on the bas
22、is of converging views and shared interests.We have also started intensifying our cooperation with regional organizations,particularly ASEAN,which is set to remain central to building a multipolar Asia.We are now proud to be an ASEAN Development Partner.Thanks to these partnerships,we have been able
23、 to carry out tangible actionsto strengthen stability in the IndoPacific,contribute to settling regionalcrises,promote the rule of law and international standards,ensure balancedand sustainable economic development,foster the deployment of qualityinfrastructure and work to preserve our common goods:
24、the climate,theenvironment and biodiversity,health,marine resources and maritime security,education and digital technology.6 We have also supported the deployment of our companies towards theIndoPacific,convinced that they can contribute to that progress by enteringmarkets which offer immense growth
25、 potential.Lastly,we have advocated for the European Union to fully play the role it musthave in the IndoPacific,addressing all the consequences of the geopolitical pivotthat is taking shape and making greater use of its cooperation instruments.Theadoption of a European strategy for the IndoPacific
26、will soon crown those efforts.That intense diplomatic work,the first results of which are presented in thisdocument,will naturally continue and be stepped up,particularly during FrancesPresidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2022.A considerable share of the balances of t
27、omorrows world are today in play inthe IndoPacific.We are determined to be there and ready for this historic shift.Jean-Yves Le DrianMinister for Europe and Foreign Affairsof the French Republic 7 During his visit in May 2018,the President of the Republic launched Frances IndoPacific Strategyat Gard
28、en Island naval base in Australia.8 Section One-The Indo-Pacific:a region withpolarizingtensions andsignificant globalissuesThe main principles and objectives of FrancesIndoPacific strategy were presented in the foundingspeeches made by President Macron in Sydney(GardenIsland)on 2 May 2018,during th
29、e AmbassadorsConference on 27 August 2019,and in SaintDenis dela Runion on 23 October 2019(“Choose La Runion”summit).The French approach presented by PresidentMacron seeks to maintain a space that is open andinclusive,free of all forms of coercion,and in accordancewith international law and multilat
30、eralism,which extendsfrom the eastern shores of Africa to the island Statesof the Pacific.President Macron noted the importanceof our major partnerships and underlined the role thatour overseas departments and communities in the Indianand Pacific Oceans play in regional cooperation.91.1.Geopolitical

33、and making strategic calculations morecomplex.To this can be added persistenttransnational threats,such as piracy,terrorism,trafficking(drugs,preciousstones and wood,protected species,etc.)and unresolved proliferation crises,aswell as the disastrous effects of climatechange,which are already being f
34、elt interms of security.All of these changeshave a direct impact on the entire region,including on French territories.Oceans,at the heartof tensionsThe IndoPacific is characterized by itsmaritime dimension.Maritime transitrepresents 90%of global trade flowsand the oceans are crucial strategicspaces
35、for guaranteeing supplies ofgoods and energy.Securing shippinglanes is therefore an absolute priority.International mobilization in the fightagainst Somalian piracy around 2010was the first indication of the needfor a multilateral response to thesethreats.Today efforts are also beingmade to fight tr
36、afficking in drugs andweapons,as well as human trafficking,and also against illegal,undeclared andunregulated fishing,a practice that ison the rise,that some States use as adestabilizing force.In this area where seven of the ten largestdefence budgets in the world are located,the increasing strategi

39、y attempted faitaccompli,unilateral change in existingsystems,or challenge to international lawthrough the use of force.while global challenges are requiringgreater cooperation from States.Therisks of uncontrolled escalation aregreat in this region,which lacks crisisregulation mechanisms.In line wit
40、h theprinciples and values demonstrated in itsinternational commitment,France worksfor a multilateral international orderthat is based on the rule of law.It sharesthis goal with its main partners in theIndoPacific,including India,Australia,Japan,and ASEAN.Preserving an internationalorder based on th
41、e ruleof law through actionsthat are based on amultilateral approachThe United States and China are engagedin global strategic competition wherethe main areas of interaction are locatedin the IndoPacific.Initially centred oneconomics and technology,this rivalryhas extended to the military sphere and
42、,in the medium term,will determine mostof the regional strategic issues.ChineseAmerican strategic competition andthe behaviour of certain regional actors,giving priority to bilateral arrangementsand power relations in order to favourtheir own national interests,contribute tothe breakdown of the inte

45、the region has becomethe largest global importer of militaryequipment.In two decades,the IndoPacific regionhas become the new driver of globaleconomic growth.The IndoPacificincludes six members of the G20,andthe region generates almost 40%ofglobal wealth.According to the IMF,the IndoPacific could re
46、present morethan 50%of global GDP in 2040,and itsmarkets could represent 40%of globalconsumption.Despite the internal economicheterogeneity of the region,it displayssignificant regional integration.Asiantrade is buoyed by value chains that areincreasingly concentrated,60%of Asiantrade is interregion
