Indo-Pacific

Indo-Pacific is a really big area of the world that includes two oceans - the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It also includes all the countries and islands that are around those oceans.

Do you know what oceans are? They are very big bodies of salt water. The Indian and the Pacific oceans are so big that they cover a quarter of the whole earth!

And do you know what a country is? A country is a place where lots of people live, like your home town or city. There are many different countries in the Indo-Pacific region, such as India, China, Japan, Australia, and many more!

These countries and islands in Indo-Pacific have a lot of things in common, like how they are connected by the big oceans around them, their shared history and culture, and even their problems!

The Indo-Pacific region is important in many ways, including for trade, economy, security, and even the environment. It is a very diverse and complex region, but people are working together to make it a better place for everyone who lives there.
