Abstract
This paper focuses on multilateral naval cooperation. To understand the importance of multilateral naval cooperation, it is necessary to answer three questions: what kind of problems are we facing; what kind of cooperation mechanisms are effective to deal with these problems; and which one of them is the most important? Naval cooperation amongst friendly countries needs to primarily deal with imminent threats such as the arms race and power game in this region, non-state threats and concerns about the future. To effectively deal with these threats, countries have engaged in confidence-building mechanisms by sharing information regarding various events, and by building capacity to deal with emerging threats and uneasy situations. All of these methods elaborate the importance of multilateral cooperation, and the navies of countries should cooperate actively in this network to maximise outcomes. Hence, there is great potential in the multilateral framework of the “New Alliance” which is developing in the region.
