    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. I belong to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. Before we came up with this idea of bringing this document to this honourable House, we considered all sides to see the advantages and disadvantages of this business in our country. We felt that the regional maritime body will help us curb the issue of pirates in our seas and get support from our friends to curb terrorism that takes place along the sea. We also felt that we shall get protection as a country because we will have a bloc. Whenever we have a problem, this bloc will come to our rescue. So, we felt we should go for it. When we have problems in our seas, we will have friends who will stand with us, for example, on the issue of Somalia, we have seen what is going on. If we go to that extend, then, our partners in this global Agreement will help us. Another issue is the protection of fish. Many countries in the world have been using the sea as a dumping site for many things that have destroyed the maritime life. So, if we have the Regional Maritime Information Exchange and Sharing Mechanism we will curb that issue. We will not have dumping of waste in our sea. That will make the sea safe for marine life. With those few remarks, I support."
