Australia to join Malabar Exercise
Why in News-Recently, Australia has agreed to join the Malabar Exercise on India’s request. The exercise is scheduled to be held in November 2020.
2020 Malabar Exercise:
●The 2020 Exercise is expected to be held in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. In 2019, the exercise was conducted off the coast of Japan.
●Due to Covid-19 pandemic the exercise had been planned in a ‘non-contact - at sea’ format.
●Its objective is to enhance safety and security in the maritime domain.
Australia’s Inclusion:
◆The issue of Australia’s inclusion in Malabar had again come up for discussion at the Quad foreign ministers meet in Tokyo held in October 2020. Thereafter, India invited Australia to join the Exercise.
◆Quad is the informal strategic dialogue between India, the USA, Japan and Australia with a shared objective to ensure and support a free, open and prosperous” Indo-Pacific region.
◆The move will bolster the ability of India, Australia, Japan and the United States to work together to uphold peace and stability across the Indo-Pacific region.
◆It is also expected to further lay the foundations for the eventual formalisation of the Quad grouping.
Other Cooperation Between Quad Members:
●India and Japan had signed a military logistics agreement in September, 2020.
●India has signed maritime information sharing agreements for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) with Australia and Japan and a similar agreement is under discussion with the U.S.A.
●MDA is defined by the International Maritime Organization as the effective understanding of anything associated with the maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of a country.
●India and U.S.A. are also stepping up efforts to conclude the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) ahead of the Indo-US 2+2 ministerial meeting on 26-27 October, 2020.
●BECA, a key military pact, will allow India to use U.S.A.’s geospatial intelligence and enhance accuracy of automated systems and weapons like missiles and armed drones.
●BECA is one of the four foundational military communication agreements between the two countries. The other three being GSOMIA, LEMOA, CISMOA.
•GSOMIA: General Security Of Military Information Agreement
•LEMOA: Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement
•CISMOA: Communications and Information Security Memorandum of Agreement
•Defence and Foreign ministers of the two countries will Participate at the 2+2 ministerial meeting.
Way Forward
◆As India seeks to increase cooperation with other countries in the maritime security domain, high-end military exercises like Malabar are key to enhancing maritime capabilities, building interoperability with its close partners, and demonstrating its collective resolve to support an open and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
◆The fast-tracking of work on BECA and the decision of the four Quad countries to participate in the Malabar Exercise are perceived to be a strategic signal to an aggressive China.
