NEW DELHI: "Land borders could divide us, but maritime borders unite us," said Rear Admiral Kishan K Pandey in an interview with Economictimes.com, ahead of the International Fleet Review (IFR), which is scheduled to take place in February 2016 in Visakhapatnam. Rear
Admiral Kishan K Pandey is the Flag Officer Fleet Review (FOFR) for IFR. In a first China will also be a part of this review, however Pakistan has not given a 'favourable' response. On being asked about the geostrategic importance of IFR, Rear Admiral Pandey said, "In today's day
and age, everything is governed through the oceans and to have them under good check, we need to partner with all other maritime nations." Follow @ETDefence Twitter handle for comprehensive coverage on other buzzing Defence stories He mentioned that IFR's theme 'United Through Oceans' reflects on the idea of having partnerships with other countries to jointly secure their maritime future.
The IFR comes at a time when both India and China are struggling to secure their
