00:00Hello Viewers, Hello all of you are welcome
00:02to the YouTube channel of Unacademy IS Offline Center.
00:05So friends,
00:07a historic agreement has been reached between Philippines and India and
00:11both the countries have decided to upgrade their relationship
00:16to the status of strategic partnership.
00:19Friends, you know, strategic partnership is
00:21very significant and it has a
00:24clear relation from the
00:26perspective of defence and national security
00:29and because of this one thing has become clear
00:32that in the times to come, India and Philippines are
00:38going to boost the defence aspect of the partnership a lot.
00:41Friends, this is a very important news.
00:43Because this can create huge problems for China.
00:46And that is why
00:49friends, now China has finally officially reacted against the kind of friendship that has emerged
00:52in this particular Philippines for India
00:57and in a
00:59way has threatened India that it should
01:02not be present in our sensitive place.
01:06You should not try to create problems for us in our problematic areas.
01:11So friends, India also wanted that in
01:13a way we are already talking to China.
01:16You see,
01:18our negotiations with China, S Jaishankar last
01:21visited China, everything is going well.
01:23But India knows that China is
01:27a threat that cannot be understood through mere talks.
01:30We should reply to him in the same manner from
01:33time to time. So friends,
01:34that is why on one hand India is adopting the path of soft power diplomacy
01:38with respect to
01:39China but on the other hand hard power because
01:42Philippines means India's entry into the South
01:45China Sea which is China's most
01:48problematic strategic backyard. So
01:50friends, India's presence there is
01:53a wake up call for China and this move of India has
01:55put China in shock in a way.
01:58So friends,
02:01you can see that a historic
02:04conversation has taken place between Prime Minister Modi and Marcos, a meeting has taken place and many
02:07outcomes have come out. First of all, a strategic
02:09partnership has already been formed. Secondly, you know that
02:11both the countries will also discuss the free trade agreement.
02:14Philippines has
02:16given visa free entry to Indian tourists.
02:18Fourthly, these people will discuss a lot about maritime security
02:22in the times to come.
02:24And there has also been discussion regarding the fifth quad and squad.
02:27You know
02:29Friends Quad is a platform of India, America, Japan and
02:32Australia. So on the other
02:34side is the squad which consists of Japan, Philippines,
02:37US and Australia. So how to synchronize
02:40stability between friends squad and squad.
02:42So that
02:44both organizations can work together in the Indo-Pacific.
02:47So discussions have taken place regarding all these things.
02:50friends. Now,
02:53look, on one hand, talks are going on with the Philippines, on the
02:55other hand, a very large
02:59consignment of warships from India has
03:01reached the Philippines for the Joint South China Sea
03:04Patrol Friends Patrol, we
03:07do it with many countries. In fact,
03:09in Indo-Pacific also,
03:11we do Malabar exercise with the Quad countries.
03:14So then why has this become a big deal
03:16? Friends, this has become a big deal
03:18because for the first time in history, India has
03:30sent its warships to the South China Sea, which is a very contested area between the Philippines and China, where this particular patrolling of
03:33yours is going to take place. So
03:36friends, this is a very daring step
03:39taken by India here. Because of which
03:42obviously friends, China is
03:44seen getting into a lot of panic.
03:48Friends, you can see that there is
03:49a
03:52big dispute going on between Philippines and China in the South China Sea. In fact,
03:53Philippines is the same country which took the
03:57South China Sea dispute
03:58to the International Court of Justice against China in 2016.
04:00China also lost in that judgement.
04:02But he is
04:05not asking to talk. But friends, ever since
04:07this person Marcos Jr. has come to the Philippines,
04:09he is the person who has
04:12taken on China head on. He has said
04:14that China should not think that the Philippines is a
04:17small country, a weak country. If you
04:19cross the red line, the
04:21Philippines will retaliate against China. So
04:23friends, ever since Marcos came, there was an expectation for a
04:26long time to increase the friendship between India and Philippines
04:29and now
04:31finally Marcos has decided to come to India by choosing the right time
04:34and India has also decided to do maritime patrolling
04:37with the Philippines in the South China Sea by choosing the right time.
04:42Because of which the future is all about India
04:44Philippines relations. And friends, this is India
04:47's master stroke, due to this, India's
04:49Necklace of Diamond Strategy will
04:52get a huge boost. You can see
04:54friends, if I tell you that last month
04:56India conducted a butterfly patrolling exercise with China's neighbouring country Mongolia.
05:01Prints you with japan. Our
05:04friendship is very good. Now, the kind of agreement India has reached with an important
05:06country and also with the Philippines is
05:09quite
05:11interesting. You know friends, the President of Indonesia
05:16came to India just last month.
05:18You know, again the Prime Minister of Singapore
05:20came to India. Chabahar Port is in Iran. So
05:23friends, in a way, India is silently trying to execute the Necklace of Diamond
05:25Strategy
05:31against the China String of Purse
05:33Strategy. Friends, with Philippines joining,
05:36this Necklace of Diamond
05:37strategy of India can see a huge boost.
05:41So friends, we will
05:43discuss the friendship between India and Philippines in more detail.
05:45But before moving ahead, an
05:47important information for all of you
05:48that PDFs of all these three things, Prelims Mock Test, Previous Year
05:50Questions, Current Affairs Magazine are
05:52now available in front of you.
05:55You will find all these PDFs in the description box of our given videos.
05:59Apart from this, friends, if you need any kind of
06:00information then you can call us on this number
06:03or you
06:05can also visit any of our offline centers.
06:07Friends India at South China Sea very
06:10very historic. Friends, you see that
06:12many warships of India were deployed at the
06:15Port of Manila, which is a port of Philippines, for many days.
06:17Especially, there are
06:19three such warships which can become a big problem
06:22for China. The first is IAS
06:24Masoor who is a missile destroyer. IAS
06:27Skilton which
06:30is lethal for anti-submarine warfare and IAS Shakti which is a
06:33fleet tanker. These three warships,
06:35Friends, from 4th August to 8th August, for the
06:42first time India is going to carry out joint patrolling with any country in the disputed area of South China Sea between China and Philippines. The
06:45most special among these
06:46is Friend IAS Masoor in which
06:48Brahmos supersonic cruise missile is also installed.
06:51This may
06:54increase the problems and regrets for Pakistan and China. Now
06:56what is its friends significance? So the
06:58US Never Institute has released a report on
07:00this joint
07:03maritime patrolling between India and Philippines and in it it has been
07:05said that this exercise between the two countries is not only about
07:10interoperability. Both these armed forces are
07:13increasing their coordination. Rather, in a
07:15way, this is a clear cut message from India
07:18towards the support of the Philippines regarding how the
07:21Philippines is facing China's aggression in the South China Sea.
07:24Therefore, in a way, India has for the
07:26first time openly tried to help the Philippines here
07:31and this is a big message for China
07:33that these two countries
07:36can build an alliance in the times to come. Because of which
07:38we
07:40can create a big problem against China. Friends,
07:42another big thing for India will be that
07:44China always creates
07:46problems against India in Galwan and Ladakh areas
07:49with the help of Pakistan.
07:50So India knows that if China
07:52creates problems for us in the mountains, then
07:54we will create problems for it in China's weak area in the South China Sea.
07:59Right now it's the Philippines. After this,
08:01you know, we can have some big development with Taiwan also.
08:03Friends,
08:05in this particular development, China now
08:07seems to be in great panic.
08:08And he has said that third party
08:10presence in South China Sea is very wrong.
08:13So friends, see, China is talking about a mistake.
08:15How Pakistan itself openly helped in Operation Sindhu
08:17and now China is
08:20using the same strategy against India.
08:22So you are saying that third party
08:24presence in South China Sea is not
08:26acceptable. But friends, the friendship between India and
08:27Philippines is going to increase.
08:30Philippines President Marcos has said
08:31that he will purchase more defence systems from India. We will
08:36buy more Brahmos missiles and tackle the China threat
08:38together with India. So friends, this is
08:40a big development in Indo-Pacific.
08:43Especially in the South China Sea, and this is
08:45India's very very daring step where on one hand
08:47India is adopting the path of diplomacy
08:49and on the other hand it is also showing hard power.
