India is set to host the Colombo Security Conclave (CSC) meeting, marking a significant step in its role as a net security provider in the Indian Ocean Region. The CSC, which includes India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, and Bangladesh, aims to bolster regional security by addressing transnational threats through five key pillars, including maritime safety and cyber security. Notably, Bangladesh’s National Security Adviser, Khalilur Rahman, will attend the meeting, signaling a potential thaw in relations despite previous tensions. The CSC has gained momentum since its inception in 2020, with plans for further expansion to include countries like Oman and Myanmar, emphasizing India’s commitment to promoting stability and cooperation in the region.
