The word security is the most widely used word in the world for various demands and perspectives. The concept of security for states becomes extremely complex due to the four territorial boundaries. However, the concept of security is generally debated in the light of broad ground realities. States take measures such as joint cooperation to ensure their security. Even joint military exercises are designed with the mutual understanding of the states to achieve a number of purposes. Sometimes such arrangements and exercises are seen by regional and non-regional states as a threat to their security. This perception of danger also creates uncertainty in the geo-political environment and states become embroiled in disputes and conflicts due to internal insecurity.

Maritime protection is a combination of multifaceted goals that pose endless threats and concerns. In general, different states prioritize their defense needs and priorities in pursuit of national security goals and constantly implement measures to improve them in order to protect them from internal and external threats to a greater extent. Joint maritime exercises are also a link in the same chain. In this way, the perception or message of threat can be effectively conveyed to other powers, resulting in changes in the geographical and political situation. An example of this is the 2007 conflict between the United States, Japan, India and Australia. The failure of the four-way security talks to take place was due to the intervention of China and its allies in the immediate aftermath of the second naval exercise in the Bay of Bengal. It was described by China and its allies as China’s Asia-Pacific strategy and its dominance in the region, which has long ensured the achievement of its goals.

The Indian Ocean region has been important since ancient times due to its trade, expeditions and waterways. Favorable weather, hot and humid climate, availability of slaves, abundant resources and other regional factors made the region more attractive, due to which the interest of the great powers and empires of the time in the region made it a desirable target. The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean in the world, bounded on three sides by the land borders of Australia, Asia and Africa, and on the fourth by the Arctic Ocean. Pakistan is strategically located in the western Indian Ocean, at the threshold of two major tributaries, Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb.

From the beginning of the new century, Pakistan’s geographical importance in the region has increased. After 9/11, a number of events took place which played an important role in shifting the national interests of different countries from land to sea and thus a new alliance emerged between the allies and rivals. Since the world began to think beyond its own views on certain issues, their perspectives began to change rapidly.

Indian maritime constructions in the form of projects such as Sagarmala and India’s strategy for the Indian Ocean, covering the region from the western Pacific to the western Indian Ocean. China’s view of the two seas justifies its expansion into the Pacific and other seas across the Indian Ocean.
