Summary/Abstract: China’s strategic imperative in the Indian Ocean region reflects its need for protection of national interests, mainly in the field of economic security (expanding business opportunities abroad) and energy security (sea lines of communication security). Long-term presence of China in the Indian Ocean region will not only increase its responsibility for security issues across the region but is also associated with the implementation of projects under the initiative of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Route Economic Belt.
