India Express: The cooperation between China and Russia is changing the balance of power in the Arctic region! The cooperation between Russia and China has made the West feel fear. An article published by India Express on May 20th. The Arctic region, which has long maintained an exclusive zone in international politics, may soon become a strategic key area. The publication believes that due to the increasingly fierce competition for key minerals and rare earth resources, the status of the Arctic is gradually rising. Under conditions of interest conflicts and lack of effective management mechanisms, the situation in this region is rapidly becoming complex, which may lead to this region becoming a strategically tense area, and such changes may have significant global impacts. Since 2022, the Arctic Council, as an effective tool for regional governance, has been facing severe challenges. In particular, its effectiveness has been threatened due to the consensus model and NATO's attempt to minimize contact with Russia. After Finland and Sweden joined NATO during the military operation, contradictions arose within the Council. India Express points out that within the framework of strengthening Arctic cooperation, China has become Russia's most important partner. The naval cooperation between Russia and China has opened up a new strategic dimension in the evolving geopolitical matrix of this region. India Express said that this modern axis should remind Arctic countries of the necessity to maintain continuous cooperation in the Arctic. Russia and China stated in a joint declaration earlier this month to advocate maintaining peace and stability in the Arctic and preventing military-political tensions in the region.
