A | New Delhi, Oct 16 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will host the Defence Ministers of African Nations during the India-Africa Defence Dialogue (IADD) on October 18 on the sidelines of the 12th DefExpo in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
The broad theme of the dialogue is ‘India-Africa: Adopting Strategy for Synergising and Strengthening Defence and Security Cooperation’.
India and Africa share close and historical ties. India’s approach towards Africa is guided by the Kampala Principles enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018, the Defence Ministry said.
India’s engagement rests on African priorities as outlined by Africans themselves.
The first-ever India-Africa Defence Ministers Conclave was held in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh in conjunction with DefExpo on February 6, 2020.
A Joint Declaration - ‘Lucknow Declaration’ - was adopted at the end of the conclave as an outcome document.
In continuance of the ‘Lucknow Declaration’ and in consultation with stakeholders, IAAD has been institutionalised to be held once every two years on the sidelines of DefExpo.
The IADD will explore new areas of convergence for mutual engagement, including in areas like capacity building, training, cyber security, maritime security and counter terrorism, the Defence Ministry said.
Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA) is the knowledge partner for the India-Africa Defence Dialogue.
B | 据菲媒报道，这场侵权活动由5艘主船带领，船上载有“这是我们的”组织成员、记者和外国观察员等，100余艘渔船跟随，预计需要约20个小时到达黄岩岛。
C | 当被问及该“渔民”船队是否会尝试进入黄岩岛 12 海里领海时，该组织召集人称“这是秘密”。路透社报道称，菲律宾海岸警卫队15日出动3艘舰船为该船队护航，并派出飞机监控周边局势。无论菲组织侵闯黄岩岛船队的实际规模有多大，中国海警已在黄岩岛海域严阵以待。据《环球时报》记者了解，目前已有多艘不同吨位的中国海警船在黄岩岛海域执行维权执法活动。15日，在黄岩岛海域巡航的中国海警船还向执意非法侵闯中国管辖海域的菲非法船只进行喊话警告，展现了中国海警维护国家主权和权益的决心。
H | 《环球时报》记者近日从中国海警获得的一组独家影像显示，菲非法“坐滩”船只舰体以及舱内设施侵蚀腐蚀极为严重，舰体底部出现破损漏洞，舰体涂漆大量脱落，许多腐蚀的锈水直接流入海中，整艘舰船已经成为一堆锈迹斑斑的废铁，各种生活物品和垃圾随意摆放在毫无遮挡的甲板上，菲军方人员在仁爱礁的浅滩上捕鱼，该非法“坐滩”船只实际上已不适合人类居住和生活。
