ABOUT THE TOPIC

The international conference “India & Maldives: Sailing the MAHASAGAR Together” was jointly organised by the Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR), Kochi, and the Indian Council for World Affairs (ICWA), New Delhi, to examine the evolving India-Maldives partnership within the broader strategic context of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

The conference brought together policymakers, scholars, and practitioners from India, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka to deliberate on maritime security, economic cooperation, capacity building, climate resilience, and regional stability under the MAHASAGAR framework. Through focused discussions and outcome-oriented sessions, the conference explored contemporary bilateral dynamics and pathways for advancing sustainable growth and mutual prosperity in the IOR.
