> Historically, Australia's strategic interests have been with East Asia.
> Over the past six or so years we have observed a gradual expansion of our
> strategic vision, which now embraces the Indian Ocean region. The 2009
> Australian Defence White paper identified the Indian Ocean as an area of
> growing strategic importance for the nation. It is likely that the
> forthcoming review of the 2009 paper will further reflect on this critical
> area.
>
> The future security and prosperity of this increasingly important
> geopolitical area will largely be dependent upon the strategic stability
> of the regional maritime domain, which is very complex.
>
> Currently, the major challenges to the maritime security in the Indian
> Ocean range from asymmetric threats such as maritimised organised crimes,
> including piracy and armed robbery and occasional incidents of maritime
> terrorism, to interstate naval rivalry, growing foreign naval presence, to
> the deployment of nuclear weapons at sea.
>
> This presentation will review major strategic challenges to the Indian
> Ocean maritime security and will attempt to identity major strategic
> issues for Australia.
