MANAMA (Reuters) - Rising naval power India has no intention of becoming
a U.S.-style protector of Gulf Arab states, even if the region's states
asked it to take on that role, its foreign minister said on Saturday,
citing his country's avoidance of foreign military deployments not
mandated by the United Nations.
Indian External Affairs Minister
Salman Khurshid added without elaborating that any effort by fellow
Asian powers Japan and China to become a strategic security partner of
the Gulf would not necessarily help secure the region, where deployed
U.S. forces are currently the dominant military power.
Khurshid
was speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of a security conference in
Bahrain that debated whether a United States increasingly self reliant
in oil might show less commitment to safeguarding the Strait of Hormuz,
the world's main energy artery through which 40 percent of the world's
sea-borne oil exports pass.
"We have never played the classical
role of intervening with military assistance in the same way that the
U.S. has been doing," he said.
"Because of the philosophical
constraints that we impose on ourselves, we don't see ourselves as a
replacement for any other power. We certainly don't believe that the
presence of any other power, such as China or Japan, or what have you,
would necessarily contribute to the security of the region."
Pentagon
chief Chuck Hagel told the meeting on Saturday that the United States
has a proven and enduring commitment to Middle East security, backed by
diplomatic engagement as well as warplanes, ships, tanks, artillery and
35,000 troop.
Nonetheless, unfamiliar strains have appeared in
the relationship between the wealthy states of the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) and the United States, partly because a decline in
Washington's energy imports from the region has stirred speculation it
may reduce its military footprint in the region.
Another reason
for strain is progress in negotiations on Iran's dispute nuclear
programme, a development that raises the possibility of a rapprochement
between the United States and Iran, a country some GCC states view as a
troublemaker, after more than 30 years of hostility.
That has led
some Gulf Arab analysts and officials to speculate that the GCC states
of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar are casting around for new security partners, possibly the rising
military powers of Asia that have long been the main buyers of oil from
the Gulf states.
Khurshid told Reuters India would not play this
role, although it would always be ready to help train, exercise and
share intelligence with Gulf Arab forces.
Doing military exercises was one thing, he said.
"Stationing
yourself for purposes of strategic defence is another matter entirely,"
he said. "India has very, very carefully and strictly adhered to
certain principles and we would want to continue to adhere to those
principles. We have never join alliances and we have never joined
military groups."
