India reaffirms maritime cooperation with Asean


Singapore, Nov 15 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday reaffirmed India's cooperation in the maritime domain during a India-Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Breakfast Summit here.

"Reaffirmed cooperation in maritime domain and centrality of trade and investment towards prosperity of Indo-Pacific," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted following the meeting.

Under New Delhi's Act East Policy, India has been increasing its engagements with the Asean regional bloc.

The Asean comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.
