Dr Ng and Ms 1 Sitharaman also exchanged views on strategic regional security and defence matters, and welcomed India's proposal of institutionalising engagements, including maritime exercises, with Southeast Asian countries. They acknowledged the good progress made following the signing of the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) in November 2015, such as the convening of the first Defence Industry Working Group in May 2016, and the inaugural Singapore-India DMD in June 2016. Following the DMD, Dr Ng and Ms Sitharaman witnessed the exchange of the inaugural Navy Bilateral Agreement between both Chiefs of Navy, in which both sides agree to increase cooperation in maritime security, increase visits to each other's ports, and facilitate mutual logistics support. The Navy Bilateral Agreement was signed by Singapore's Permanent Secretary of Defence Mr Chan Yeng Kit and India's Defence Secretary Sanjay Mitra. The conclusion of the Navy Bilateral Agreement, together with the existing Army and Air Force Bilateral Agreements, is testament to the breadth and depth of military-to-military ties between the Singapore Armed Forces and the Indian Armed Forces.

0 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation
0 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation Background The People’s Republic of China aspires to build a “modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious” by 2049. Widely considered as a euphemism for a “Global Power”, the Chinese Dream (中国梦) envisages China claiming its rightful role in the global stage after more than a ‘Century of Humiliation’. Commensurate with the national goal, the People’s Liberation Army aspires to be a ‘world class ’military by 2049. Of particular importance is the PLA Navy (PLAN) which has grown from a ‘brown water ’Navy to the “largest Navy in the world” in just three decades, defying conventional modelling and predictions. The growth of the PLAN is prominent in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), where it has a near-permanent presence with a logistic base at Djibouti, counter-piracy patrols, and a growing footprint that necessitates critical examination. This webinar proposed to delve into current and future developments in the PLAN that are of concern to India. The Webinar was covered the following parts: - i. PLAN’s expansion in the IOR till date. ii. PLA’s likely force projection capabilities till 2035. iii. Perspective Planning for India as a Net Security Provider in the IOR. 1 Report: ICS – KAS Conversation Programme Overview To explore the presence of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in the Indian Ocean and the resultant challenges and opportunities which arise for India, the Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) in partnership with the India Office of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) organized the ICS-KAS Conversation on 'PLA Navy’s Expansion in the Indian Ocean: Challenges and Opportunities for India' on Wednesday, 28 October 2020 at 3:00 P.M IST on Zoom along with ICS media partner, ThePrint.

India-Africa Maritime Cooperation: the Case of Western Indian Ocean

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. India-Africa Maritime Cooperation: The Case of Western Indian Ocean ABSTRACT The Western Indian Ocean connects North America, Europe and Asia, and as such is of global strategic importance. Its rich natural resource profile has pushed global players, including India, to view the region with increasing interest in recent years. Although for a long time, much of India’s political attention was directed towards its eastern neighbourhood, in recent years, the country has begun giving more attention to maritime security in its west, where the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea meet. Today there is a proactive reorientation and rebalance in India’s nautical outlook towards its West, especially with the African Indian Ocean Rim littorals. While India’s compulsions for energy security and its dependence on overseas resources has been the biggest pull drawing India closer to the region, this paper calls on India to play a greater role in shaping the maritime security architecture in the Western Indian Ocean.

TEJAS Does 1St Carrier Landing, but Will Indian Navy Ever Buy
Tue, 14 Jan 2020 TEJAS does 1st carrier landing, but will Indian Navy ever buy it? The program to design a naval variant of the TEJAS was initiated in 2003 On Saturday morning, congratulatory messages poured in for the DRDO and the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) for conducting the first landing on an aircraft carrier of the naval variant of the TEJAS fighter. The naval variant of the TEJAS Mk-1, a single engine aircraft, undertook its first-ever arrested landing on the INS Vikramaditya on Saturday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted, "Extremely happy to learn of the maiden landing of DRDO developed TEJAS Navy on INS Vikramaditya. This successful landing is a great event in the history of Indian Fighter aircraft development program." However, the Indian Navy's Twitter handle seemed to describe the importance of the naval TEJAS's carrier landing milestone in terms of providing inputs for a future twin-engine fighter that could make its first flight by 2026. The Indian Navy tweeted, "With this feat, the indigenously developed niche technologies specific to deck based fighter operations have been proven, which will now pave the way to develop and manufacture the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter for the #IndianNavy." During his annual press conference ahead of Navy Day, Indian Navy chief Admiral Karambir Singh, effectively, confirmed a proposal for a new project by DRDO to develop a twin engine fighter for aircraft carriers. Singh said the new twin-engine aircraft would be ready for its first flight by 2026. “The qualitative requirements are being made. They [DRDO] said they should be able to push it out by 2026.

Maritime Security and Freedom of Navigation
Pathfinder Indian Ocean Security Conference – 10, 11 & 12 November 2020 Maritime Security and Freedom of Navigation Admiral Sunil Lanba PVSM, AVSM, (Retd) Chairman, National Maritime Foundation, and Former Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Indian Navy, India There is little dispute over the assertion that the world today is characterised by multi-layered and multi-faceted diversity from political, demographic, economic, environmental and strategic viewpoints. Everything around us seems to suggest that the world is in another period of historical transition. In addition to these, the world is living in a period of ‘strategic uncertainty’ manifesting itself as a complex interplay between nations across multiple domains. Global Drivers There are three global drivers which are of particular concern to us as they would shape the world, and our collective futures in profound ways. The first of these pertains to the ongoing shift in the technological centre of gravity from West to East. As a result, the technological superiority enjoyed by the West is under challenge from the East. In fact, the technological gap is narrowing between the West and East, particularly in the field of advanced technologies, many of which also have military applications1. Coupled with the technological driver is the economic matrix and by that I mean the on-going rebalancing of the global economies which is leading to a major shift in global economic clout. In fact, in a recent analysis published by the World Economic Forum, by 2050, six of the seven largest economies are projected to be emerging economies2. These will be led by China and followed by India at the second place.
