In the previous article, I discussed the Gulf Arab states’ vision for cooperation with India in the field of maritime security. The article concluded that the Gulf Arab states, classified as maritime nations, face enormous challenges in the realm of maritime security. Consequently, they have been keen to establish numerous partnerships and avenues of cooperation with stakeholders concerned with maritime and energy security, including India. However, what is India’s vision for maritime security in the Arabian Gulf region? This is a significant question that often arises when discussing the strategies of major powers and international organizations toward the Arabian Gulf. The essence of the question is whether these parties have a specific strategy for the Gulf, or if the Gulf region is addressed within their broader strategies, with the level of interest varying according to each country’s interests.
