    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will now quickly progress to the second agreement which is the Regional Agreement on the Coordination of Operations at Sea in the Western Indian Ocean and the Explanatory Memorandum. The difference between the first agreement and the second one is that the first agreement is about information and exchange of data but the second one is about coordination of operation at sea. This Agreement also consists of 22 articles. Largely, they generally reflect the same sort of parameters as laid down in the first agreement in terms of the objectives, facilitation, scope of the agreement and regional coordination. So, the important things which I would really want to spill out here is that all parties under the operational agreement undertake to fight piracy and organised crime, assist in the exercise of the state prerogatives with regard to vessels, participate in the search and rescue of humans at sea, protect the maritime environment, restore safety of navigation at sea, protect underwater sites and help in the event of disasters. Largely, this is within the scope of what our navy does as a maritime force at the sea. This is also where we see that we have a coast guard now. How closely do they relate and cooperate when they are not in the blue waters that have the maritime force but in the brown waters? That is in the 12 nautical miles where the coast guard operates."
