    Amid India-China border row, Australia to join Malabar naval exercise
  • The Defence Ministry on Monday announced that Australia will be joining the upcoming Malabar naval exercise, completing the Quad or quadrilateral coalition along with the United States and Japan.

    Notably, China has expressed concerns over the purpose of the exercise, alleging it is an effort to contain its influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

    India's announcement comes amid a months-long border row with China.

    "The exercise will strengthen the coordination between the navies of the participating countries," the Ministry added.
