Abstract: The Global Maritime Partnership (GMP ) initiative embraces the ambitious objective of providing a secure global maritime commons. This article analyses how the GMP may evolve in the Asia Pacific, given the changing regional security environment, challenges in implementation, and arising opportunities. While the United States (US ) will continue to be the predominant power in the Asia Pacific for the foreseeable future, China and India will continue to build up their military capabilities. It argues that in order to maintain its leadership role within the Asia Pacific region, the US needs to recognize the emergence of China and India and adopt a GMP policy that is inclusive of these two countries by leveraging on existing multilateral frameworks of cooperation. Keywords: Asia-Pacific; Global Maritime Partnership; Maritime Cooperation; Maritime Security
