New Delhi, March 19 /TASS /. Western countries realize that the Arctic is a territory of geopolitical confrontation, and Russia and Asia are a scientific and regional laboratory for integrated development. This is proved by the research results of the design office on the development of the Arctic (time) “The image of the Arctic on international media: the results of evaluating media documents in 2020-2025.”
According to Director Maxim Dankin, participants of New Delhi in the North forum – Indian science and business conference, research authors based on machine algorithms have developed a language model, with their assistance that classified the documents of large media and studied the way the Arctic is perceived in different countries around the world.
In the West, we see that the Arctic is often considered a resource and a place of geopolitical struggle. Therefore, their emphasis on its militaryization. Over the past three years, a very positive rhetorical measure has been observed in the media, he said.
According to Dankin, “In Russia, the Arctic is felt in a completely different way.” This is a strategic, focused area made in its complex development. In addition, the northern sea route in history for Russia is the national traffic artery, the scope of national interests and strategic territories, he said.
In Asian countries, in this case, mainly in China and India, this is a research laboratory and travel magnets. And this is very valuable because we find that in fact, Asian partners are considered the North Pole as a territory of dialogue, Mr. Dankin emphasized.
It is important to maintain a dialogue in the Arctic, the balance between the security context and the positive context of scientific and technological cooperation. The position of China, India and Asian countries reflects the desire to develop the Arctic in a construction channel and is not a war.
