India and Philippines Boost Maritime Cooperation Efforts
Published on 8.11.25
India and the Philippines have strengthened their maritime cooperation through a partnership that includes enhanced domain awareness, shipbuilding, and joint investments in defence research and development. The two countries aim to counter-terrorism through regular dialogues and information-sharing, with a zero-tolerance policy for terrorism. This partnership is significant as it broadens the strategic horizons of both nations, with India's naval capacities being particularly valued by the Philippines, as seen in President Marcos's public thanks for India's rescue efforts after a Houthi rebel attack in the Red Sea.
