14 DAY TRIAL // India’s Foreign Minister S M Krishna and his Japanese counterpart Koichiro Gemba have revealed the countries’ plans to collaborate on improving the cyber and maritime security.
According to the Times of India, the details regarding the cyber security measures haven’t been made public, but as far as the maritime sector is concerned, joint naval exercises are already announced for June, near the Japanese coast.
“We will discuss maritime affairs with a special focus on maritime security,” Gemba explained.
Japanese and Indian officials also discussed the possibility to collaborate in the civil nuclear department, but apparently there are a number of issues that need to be addressed before anything certain can be established.
Whatever the countries have planned for the cyber security sector, it probably won’t be anything as drastic as what we’ve seen with China, which seems to want to take out US satellites by using microwave pulses.
