ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 International Relations and GS3 Security: India treats ASEAN as central to its Act East Policy and Indo-Pacific approach, and naval exercises like AIME turn that into practical cooperation. They build interoperability, maritime domain awareness and trust, and support a rules-based order in the South China Sea region. The way forward is regular, wider-scope exercises, joint capacity building and coordination on HADR and maritime security.
