Rajnath Singh To Address Top Naval Commanders Onboard INS Vikrant
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and top commanders of the Indian Navy will on Monday carry out a comprehensive review of India's maritime security challenges at a key conclave onboard indigenously built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant on the high seas.
It is for the first time that the biannual commanders' conference is taking place onboard an aircraft carrier, a move seen as a symbolic reflection of India's priority to the maritime sphere amid China's increasing presence in the Indian Ocean region.
A senior Navy official said the conference will carry its own significance and relevance in view of the prevailing geostrategic situation in the region.
Defence Minister Singh will address the naval commanders onboard the indigenous aircraft carrier on Monday as part of the first phase of the conference.
The conference serves as a platform for naval commanders to discuss important security issues at the military-strategic level as well as interact with senior government functionaries under an institutionalised framework.
"The novelty of this year's conference lies in the fact that the first phase of the commanders' conference is being held at sea, and for the first-time, onboard India's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant," the Navy said.
