Europeans and Indians are both working towards similar objectives, including a rules-based order, cooperative multilateralism, and sustainable growth and stability in the Indian Ocean region.
This article explains how the EU and India should move towards high-level strategic convergence, mentioning the CRIMARIO project. According to the article, Indian and European navies have operated side by side in the Gulf of Aden to counter piracy but such ad hoc coordination should give way to cooperation across different domains. India-EU maritime security endeavours in the Indian Ocean Region will need be part of a larger economic and political project that comprehensively covers the entire scope of strategic challenges.
