Maritime Security is Paramount

Things to consider

- 35-40% of world's commerce flows

through the Indo-Asia Pacific

- South China Sea provides vital

passage linking East Asia with the

Middle East, Africa & Europe

- 41,000 ships pass through the South

China Sea each year

- Regional Maritime Security concerns:

Terrorism, Piracy, drug trafficking &

smuggling, illegal fishing

Ensured Access to the Global Commons and Freedom of Movement through the Sea

Lines of Communication are paramount to Regional Security and Economic Stability
