Houthi Attacks and The Growing Instability in the Red Sea
By : D.P. Srivastava
Page No: 17-26
Abstract
Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have affected shipping traffic passing through a major artery of international trade. Houthis have linked their actions to the situation in Gaza. China is the biggest beneficiary of the maritime trade flowing through the Suez Canal but remains a fence-sitter rather than a net security provider. The Chinese presence is growing elsewhere also in the Indian Ocean zone.
Author : Amb. D.P. Srivastava is a Former Ambassador of India to Iran. He had negotiated MOU for Indian participation in Chabahar Port.
