“India’s emphasis on the rule of law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and its advocacy for freedom of navigation and overflight in the Indo-Pacific, are not directed against any country but are meant to safeguard the collective interests of all regional stakeholders,” Singh said at the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM)-Plus in Kuala Lumpur.
