Rajnath Singh tweet: The entire area of the Indian Ocean, which is known as IOR, is very important in terms of strategic interest of India. Almost all the neighbors of IOR are keen on building better and deeper relations with India. Our emphasis will be on increasing maritime cooperation with water neighbours.
