India kicked off a major display of maritime might on Thursday, with ships from 50 navies converging on the country’s east coast, as New Delhi seeks to boost its leadership in the region.
Ninety ships including from the US, French, British and Chinese navies are taking part in the international fleet review in the Bay of Bengal — a ceremonial inspection and parade of boats and crews.
Indian Navy chief Robin K. Dhowan, who is hosting the event, said the review would increase naval cooperation, with the “safety, stability and the security” of the oceans a “collective responsibility”.
“What you see, all the ships there, is all about cooperation, it is how to interact with each other and how to work together to make the global commons safe and secure,” Dhowan told the NDTV network.
Next one will be held by Pakistan with Sri Lanka and China!
Pakistan needs a Navy to have a "fleet review" – Pakistan has fewer ships than Sri Lanka – forget China.
