Top commanders of the Indian Navy will carry out a comprehensive review of the country's maritime security, including the situation in the Indian Ocean region and the possible implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, at a four-day conclave beginning Monday.
The Navy said the conference will be addressed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who will also interact with the commanders.
It is perhaps the first time in many years that the External Affairs Minister will also address the naval commanders' conference that serves as a platform to discuss important maritime matters at the military-strategic level.
