ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (International Relations) and GS-III (Security): Maritime exercises with ASEAN navies show how India's Act East policy turns into defence cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. They build interoperability, maritime domain awareness and trust with partners facing shared sea-lane and security concerns. The way forward lies in regular, wider-participation drills, joint capacity building and aligning them with ASEAN centrality.
