India was re-elected to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Council with the highest tally at elections held at its Assembly in London on Friday for the 2024-25 biennium.
India's re-election falls under the Category of 10 states with "the largest interest in international seaborne trade", alongside Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Indian High Commissioner to the U.K., Vikram Doraiswami, said the vote reflects the government’s commitment to enhancing India's diverse contributions to global maritime operations.
