Enhancing India’s maritime footprint in the Indo-Pacific

Hindustan Times  

From May 2-8, 2023, the maiden Association of Southeast Asian Nations -India Maritime Exercise took place in the Indian Ocean. India’s ASEAN outreach began in 1992 when New Delhi was admitted as a sectoral dialogue partner of ASEAN; 2022 marked 30 years of this partnership, which was celebrated as India-ASEAN Friendship Year. In 2019, India and ASEAN outlined their approaches towards the Indo-Pacific region, releasing the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative and the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific respectively. The objectives of the AIME-23 such as familiarising with each other’s navies, helping build trust, preparing for contingencies, working towards enabling seamless trade through the seas and securing the Indian Ocean from belligerent activities, is a result of a broad consensus between India and ASEAN in the Indo-Pacific region. In 2022, India became a founding member of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity, which was joined by seven ASEAN member States.
