On Sunday, at the International Fleet Review 2016, PM Modi said that oceans were essential for the global energy security as over 60% of the world’s oil production moves through sea routes.
He said, “Threat of sea borne terror, of which India has been a direct victim, continues to endanger the regional and global peace and stability. Given the scale and complexity of modern day challenges the international maritime stability cannot be the preserve of a single nation. Navies and maritime agencies of the world need to work together and engineer virtuous cycles of cooperation. We must use seas to build peace, friendship and trust and curb conflict.”
The event was action-packed with several displays from the naval warships. PM Modi also released a book on “Maritime Heritage” during the event.
