New Delhi [India], September 6 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that the rise of China and its enormous expansion will have major implications on Indo-Pacific on Monday.

"Where the US, as an entrenched power, is understandably struggling is in respect of new manifestations of exerting influence and wielding power.

He also underlined that the expansion of China has global implications as it would be one of the factors to drive the globe.

"As we seek to discern outlines of what emerges next, there's no question that Indo-Pacific would be very much at its core. Even though Asia has been more dynamic than Europe in the last few decades, its regional architecture is far more conservative," Jaishankar added. (ANI)
