In spite of geographic distance and important challenges close to its borders, Rome could formulate an Italian strategy for the Indo-Pacific, thereby strengthening ties with this macro-region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">As highlighted by the most recent research, Italy has been approaching the Indo-Pacific for about 20 years. In the meantime, much has changed: the region\u2019s economies are growing at an enviable pace, territorial disputes have risen in many regions - the South China Sea is emblematic - and the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the fragilities of the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Nevertheless, Italy has continued to pursue its own \u201cinformal approach\u201d to the Indo-Pacific. Trade interchanges have increased by more than one-sixth in the last 10 years, and defense-related interchanges by nearly 45%. The strategic collaboration has strengthened joint training, defense of navigation and overflight rights, interoperability, and strategic projects ( see IPO,GCAP, and IMEC, among other examples). Finally, Rome has formed partnerships with many key players in the region, including PIF, Vietnam, Korea, IORA, ASEAN, UAE, Japan and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the undoubtedly ripe time, Italy is moving to formalize its commitment. Such a potential strategy, currently under discussion, would rationalize the Italian approach, formalizing it for the benefit of European and North American allies and Indo-Pacific partners, and ensure the constancy of such engagement well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">This journey began with the creation of an Indo-Pacific Committee at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, thanks to the efforts of Hon. Paolo Formentini, who was also supported in this area by opposition representatives such as Hon. Lia Quartapelle Procopio. The Committee\u2019s activities -which I had the pleasure of contributing to with the inaugural hearing - will ensure expert advice to support parliamentary debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Other events in support of an Italian strategy - which is inclusive and multilateral in nature, and respectful of the many existing sensitivities - included a conference at the Senate that saw Sen. Francesco Giacobbe, Hon.Formentini, myself, Dr. Karolina Muti and Dr. Alessio Piazza explain the benefits of such an objective to an audience of experts. The ambassadors present, in particular, have emphasized the importance of an Italian strategy with these characteristics for Indo-Pacific relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There still is a long way to go and there are several developments that could distract the attention of the government  which always has the last word on the subject, however, the conditions are favorable and it is therefore with guarded optimism that we can look to the future of Italy\u2019s relations with the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u2019Italia si muove per formalizzare il proprio impegno nella regione Editoriale a cura di Gabriele Abbondanza, Universit\u00e0 di Madrid e Universit\u00e0 di Sydney L\u2019Italia \u00e8 sempre pi\u00f9 vicina all\u2019Indo-Pacifico.
