Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen met Indian Minister for Defence Nirmala Sitharaman for the second India-Singapore Defence Ministers' Dialogue (DMD) today. During the DMD, both Ministers reaffirmed the strong and long-standing defence relationship, and discussed ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation. 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.

  • 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
    NOVEMBER 2019 India-Africa Maritime Cooperation: The Case of Western Indian Ocean ABHISHEK MISHRA India-Africa Maritime Cooperation: The Case of Western Indian Ocean ABHISHEK MISHRA ABOUT THE AUTHOR Abhishek Mishra is a Junior Fellow with ORF’s Strategic Studies Programme. He is a Doctoral Candidate at the Department of African Studies, University of Delhi. ISBN: 978-93-89622-05-8 © 2019 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. 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.

  • Indian Strategy for the Indian Ocean
    1 Featured Image: Indian Navy destroyer INS Kochi enters Port Victoria, Seychelles. (Photo via Indian Navy spokesperson Twitter) INDIA’S STRATEGY FOR THE INDIAN OCEAN IN LIGHT OF COVID-19 AND CONFRONTATION WITH CHINA By David Scott CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SECURITY (CIMSEC) SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 Setting the Scene for 2020 Indian strategy for the Indian Ocean revolves around retaining pre-eminence across the body of water, tacitly seen as India’s Ocean; a term implying if not hegemony, then at least a sort of regional leadership and regional pre- eminence. The External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar was explicit at the Indian Ocean Conference held in the Maldives in September 2019 that India’s “core interests are in Indian Ocean,” that “the fact remains that where India can really make a difference is in the Indian Ocean itself,” and that the Indian Ocean is for India “a natural arena for its influence and of overriding security consequence.” Jaishankar went on in March 2020 to argue in a speech titled “Emerging Geopolitical Landscapes” that “where maritime security is concerned, India has emerged as a key player, especially in the Indian Ocean.” Indian strategy in and for the Indian Ocean during the 2010s has been threefold: building up its naval-maritime infrastructure (bases and support 2 facilities), building up power projection assets, and strengthening relations with increasingly China-concerned powers. Indian strategy for the Indian Ocean during the 2010s has involved building up its naval infrastructure out from the Indian subcontinent. This has involved development of military facilities on the Lakshadweep archipelago off the western coast, but even more so on the larger Andaman and Nicobar archipelago on the other eastern side of the Bay of Bengal at the head of the Malacca Strait.
