Pakistan's upcoming joint naval exercise with China sparks Indian concerns

India Today  

The upcoming AMAN-25 multinational naval exercise, hosted by the Pakistan Navy, and scheduled from February 7 to 11, 2025, in Karachi, has garnered significant attention, especially with expectations of the People’s Liberation Army Navy of China actively participating. China’s involvement in AMAN-25 could be viewed as an effort to project power in the region and solidify its maritime influence, directly impacting India’s security calculus. China’s growing presence in Pakistan’s maritime initiatives, coupled with its base in Djibouti and investments in Sri Lanka, has led to concerns about a string of pearls strategy, potentially encircling India in the IOR. The joint drills in AMAN-25 could enhance interoperability between the PLA Navy and Pakistan Navy, posing challenges to India’s maritime dominance.
