India to press on with trilateral exercises with US, Japan amid Chinese objections
Rahul Bedi, New Delhi - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
14 July 2015
Unmindful of Chinese concerns, the Indian Navy (IN) plans to conduct trilateral exercises with US and Japanese navies off its east coast in the Bay of Bengal in October, senior military and diplomatic sources have said.
They noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's federal government is finalising details with Tokyo to include the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF) in the 'Malabar' exercises, which the IN has conducted annually with the US Navy (USN) since 2002.
The IN had refrained from involving any other country in exercises it had with the USN since 2007, when Beijing objected to the IN conducting a round of exercises that also involved the navies of Japan, Australia, Singapore, and the United States in the Bay of Bengal (known as the 'Quadrilateral' exercises, even though there were five participants).
