In what appears to be a warning to China, India and Indonesia have agreed to hold their first-ever joint air combat exercise. New Delhi has also offered to train Indonesian Navy personnel in submarine operations, Times of India reported on Thursday. China’s rising adventurism is connived as a threat in the region and has forced smaller countries to forge closer military and economic ties with India.
India and Indonesia have also agreed to upgrade their joint army exercise, Garuda Shakti. The fourth edition of this exercise was held at Magelang in Indonesia in March 2016. Navies of the two countries have been conducting coordinated maritime patrol in the Indian Ocean, twice a year since 2002, to safeguard trade routes in the region.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
