  • In 2007, the ninth Malabar exercise was the first one to be held outside the Indian Ocean.

    The naval exercise included 25 vessels from India, the United States, Japan, Australia and Singapore in the Bay of Bengal.

    China, which has been building naval cooperation with Bangladesh and Myanmar to gain access to the Bay of Bengal, was said to be dissatisfied over the event.

    The Malabar exercises: Current context
  • The 2016 Malabar exercise is being held close to the South China Sea, where China is engaged in a territorial dispute with neighbouring countries.

    In addition, Japan and China are also involved in a dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyu island chains in the East China Sea/Sea of Japan.

    With Japanese, American and Indian navies so close to their disputed maritime boundaries, the exercise threatens China.
