India Enhances Maritime Cooperation for Indo-Pacific Stability: Navy VAdm
India is actively enhancing maritime security and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region through the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) 2025, led by Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan. The dialogue emphasizes capacity building and capability enhancement, aligning with Prime Minister Modi’s MAHASAGAR vision, and promotes lasting partnerships among nations by providing training, resources, and operational support. Key initiatives include the deployment of the Indian Ocean Ship SAGAR and collaborative exercises, which aim to bolster regional navies’ preparedness. The IPRD’s focus on the Blue Economy underscores India’s commitment to a holistic maritime strategy that intertwines security, sustainable development, and economic growth, reflecting its pivotal role in fostering stability across the Indo-Pacific. This approach not only strengthens regional alliances but also addresses interconnected challenges such as climate change and trade resilience.
