In the recent years, France has deftly positioned itself as a major security and defense player in the Indo-Pacific. Largely by virtue of its considerable strategic real estate in the mega-region, in the Pacific as well as the Indian Ocean, Paris is increasingly becoming the partner of choice for many other regional powers who have sought to diversify their partnerships in that strategic theater in face of Chinese intransigence as well as U.S. policy uncertainty in the past. In turn, France has doubled down on a multilateral approach to the region’s security challenges, whether those emanating from terrorism or increasing Chinese maritime overreach. With a range of exercises as well as a permanent sustained French military presence in the region, France’s turn towards the Indo-Pacific appears substantially more robust than that of its peer European powers, Germany and the United Kingdom in particular.
