Increased cooperation, shared vision and collaboration between like-minded navies will play a key role for maritime security and protecting the interests and sovereignty of the nations. This was the opinion of the panel members that included chiefs of different navies at the seminar with the theme ‘Changing character and conflict at sea’ organised as part of MILAN-2022, at Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
Delivering the keynote address the Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy, Admiral R. Hari Kumar, pointed out that the need of the hour was constructive engagement, collective maritime cooperation and collaboration between navies to ward off threats at sea and minimise conflicts.
