The timing of India’s presidency is important– although it is a plain coincidence that it has actually accompanied the second wedding anniversary of annexation of Occupied Kashmir by India; and completion of withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.

On maritime security, Tirumurti contends that “a thorough technique to maritime safety is important to protecting common success as it protects legit activities and also counters hazards of present as well as arising hostile, unlawful or unsafe acts within the maritime domain name. This envelops the PM’s vision of SAGAR– Safety as well as Development for All in the Area.”
