Sagarmanthan will be an enabling platform for many such partnerships and alliances, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to craft a comprehensive and forward-looking framework for ocean governance. We will work collaboratively with global policymakers, scholars, and the industry to identify high-impact ideas that can galvanize the blue economy. Our goal is to align India\u2019s maritime priorities with the broader objectives of the international community, ensuring that our contributions to ocean governance are both meaningful and far-reaching.
