Renews pact with Indonesian Coast Guard: ICG

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on Tuesday said it renewed an agreement with the Indonesian Coast Guard on cooperation for maritime safety and security for a period of three years. India and Indonesia resolved to boost their maritime security cooperation during Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's four-day recent visit to New Delhi.

Subianto was the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations.

"In a significant step towards furthering India-Indonesia comprehensive bilateral relations, the Indian Coast Guard and the Indonesia Coast Guard (Badan Keamanan Laut Republik Indonesia - BAKAMLA) renewed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Maritime Safety and Security Cooperation for a period of three years," the ICG said in a statement.
