President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s diplomatic diplomacy is now
bearing its fruits as India has expressed its intention in strengthening the
defense capabilities of the country.
The offer of India is specifically in the field of maritime
security, Indian Ambassador to the Philippines Shambhu Kumaran has said.
“It’s a great honor to be in the Philippines. We have a big
relationship with a potential growth much, much bigger. And we do also have a
lot of interest in maritime security,” Kumaran said

The Indian Ambassador noted that Prime Minister
Narendra Modi offered to help Philippines set up coastal surveillance
system.
“You know, just yesterday, we were
[commemorating] the unfortunate anniversary of the terrorist attack in Mumbai,”
Kumaran said. “So, what we did in India regarding terrorist attacks is we made
a mega international effort to create a coastal surveillance system that can
allow us to look into the sea and search, you know, travel before they reach
us. And so, what we do is to identify all the shipping that is happening.”
During the state visit of Indian President Ram
Nath Kovind in October 2019, among the agreement signed was a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) on the sharing of white shipping information between the
Philippine Coast Guard and the Indian Navy.
“With the signing of bilateral agreements, we
have likewise widened the path towards enhancement of our engagement in
maritime security, science, technology, tourism, and cultural
cooperation,” President Rodrigo Duterte said in October last year.
