New Delhi, November 10

India and 12 other nations have adopted a declaration on “Common Maritime Priorities” that will include surveillance patrolling and common goals of ensuring safe seas. The priorities were discussed at the Goa Maritime Conclave (GMC) that concluded last night.

Indian Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh, in his closing remarks at the conclave, brought out that the conclave should move beyond dialogue and focus on cogent outcomes. He proposed four guiding principles that includes up-skilling and up-scaling existing capabilities. He listed the other three saying making incremental gains, harnessing commonalities, synchronisation and for focussed operations.

All participating nations agreed to work together on the deliverables and take forward further constructive activities in the future editions. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
