Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral R Hari Kumar has stressed on primacy of a Rules-Based Order. Speaking at 18th Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS) at Yokohama in Japan recently, he expressed commitment of the Indian Navy and that of the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium towards promoting the idea of collective responsibility for maritime security in the Indo-pacific. He was on an official visit to Japan from 5th to 9th of this month.
 
During the visit, the Navy Chief witnessed the International Fleet Review (IFR), hosted by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force off Yokosuka on 6th November in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of its formation. Indian Naval Ships Shivalik and Kamorta represented the Indian Navy in the IFR. Participation of the two indigenously built ships of the Indian Navy at the IFR showcased the ship-building prowess of Indian shipyards to the international gathering and participating navies. This year’s edition of Exercise MALABAR is also being hosted by Japan. Initiated in 1992, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Exercise MALABAR. The visit of the Navy Chief to Japan exhibited India’s consistent support to multilateral maritime security constructs in the Indo-Pacific and further consolidated the high level of bilateral defence engagements with Japan.
