The second Trilateral Cooperation on Maritime Security meeting between India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka concluded this week with an agreement for greater collaboration and information sharing among their respective naval forces in the Indian Ocean.
The Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) has said that an agreement had been reached during the meeting for Indian and Sri Lankan naval forces to assist the Maldives with search and rescue efforts, as well as dealing with issues such as marine oil pollution.
The meeting, which concluded Tuesday (July 9) was attended by Maldives Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim, Sri Lanka’s Minister of Defence and Urban Development Gotabaya Rajapaksa and India’s National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon.
The first Trilateral Cooperation on Maritime Security meeting was held in the Maldives in 2011, although the MNDF has said that technical meetings have since been held in all three countries.

The kuffar do not honor their contracts with the Muslims. Dhivehistanis should follow the principle of Wala wal Baraa and cut off ties with these Buddhists and Hindus and forge ties with our brothers in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Middle East. Together we shall build the Caliphate again and conquer these infidels, destroy their idols and force them to convert or die. That is what a true Islamic Defense Minister would do.
