Colliding Interests: A Warning Sign for Maritime Diplomacy The recent incident between Indian and Pakistani naval ships in the Arabian Sea has raised concerns about the fragile state of maritime diplomacy in the region.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has lodged a strong protest against Pakistan's actions, but the significance of this event lies beyond the immediate blame game.
A collision occurred on September 15 when a Pakistani naval ship came close to an Indian warship at high speed, contravening Article 10 of the India Pakistan Agreement on Advance Notice on Military Exercises, Manoeuvres and Troops Movements of April 1991.
