Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri participated in discussions via video conference to emphasize Indias position on the security of international shipping lanes in the region. During the meetings, he highlighted the importance of ensuring safe maritime navigation, which is vital for global trade and regional stability.

The discourse comes amidst ongoing concerns regarding maritime security, particularly in areas prone to piracy and geopolitical tensions. Misris comments are aligned with Indias broader strategy to bolster maritime security cooperation with neighboring countries and international partners.
