The Seventh Meeting of the National Security Advisors (NSAs) of the Colombo Security Conclave (CSC) will be held in New Delhi today (20).
India’s NSA Ajit Doval will host his counterparts from member states, including the Maldives, Mauritius, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Seychelles will be participating as an Observer State, while Malaysia has been invited as a guest.
“The CSC was formed to promote closer cooperation between Member States on vital matters of security and to strengthen partnership for enhancing regional security in the Indian Ocean region,” the Indian External Affairs Minister (MEA) said in a press release issued yesterday.
The Sixth Meeting of the NSAs of CSC was held in December 2023, in Mauritius, and member states met again during the Signing Ceremony for the Founding Documents of CSC in Sri Lanka, in August 2024.
