Maritime Security Initiatives Highlighted by India in ASEAN Regional Forum

Jaishankar outlined India's multi‑layered maritime security framework, which includes an Information Fusion Centre, the Indo‑Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness initiative, and naval deployments stretching from the Northern Arabian Sea to the western Pacific. These efforts aim to curb piracy, human trafficking, and narcotics smuggling while safeguarding global trade. He also urged the international community to stay vigilant against activities that undermine nuclear non‑proliferation and disarmament.
