India's Maritime Security and Diplomacy in the Multilateral Meeting

That virtual meeting, you know, the one with over sixty countries there—Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, representing India, he actually pointed out something specific.

A return to talking, diplomacy, that kind of thing among everyone involved. That was the main takeaway from New Delhi, emphasized in that multilateral meeting organized by the UK. Freedom of navigation , that principle, that’s always important.

But the impact on India, that’s the heavy part. Misri stressed how this whole crisis hits India’s energy security . And he brought up the fact that India lost mariners.

And they kept emphasizing that point about the maritime attacks. India said they lost at least three sailors. Those sailors were on merchant vessels flying foreign flags. That’s what the Directorate General of Shipping reported.

Meanwhile, the US wasn't there for the meeting. They’ve been pretty critical of the UK, you know, not helping Washington deal with Iran. It just adds another layer to the whole situation.

But India wasn't sitting still. They were actively engaging. They’re talking to regional players in the Middle East, including Iran. The goal?

Safe transit for their ships.

And that outreach was actually working. Jaiswal reported that through the conversations they’d had over the last few days, they managed to get six Indian ships safely across the Strait of Hormuz. They’re still talking to the relevant parties, making sure it keeps going. It’s a slow process, maybe, but they are trying to keep things moving.
