German defence minister says Thyssenkrupp AG is likely to bid for a project to supply 6 submarines for Indian navy. India is looking to boost domestic defence manufacturing as it aims to counter China's growing presence in Indian Ocean. In march, India approved a budget of $6.8 billion for its navy. Indian navy has 16 conventional submarines, 11 of them over 2 decades old, along with 2 indigenous nuclear-powered submarines. Western military manufacturers are attempting to wean new Delhi from its dependence on Russian gear. Thyssenkrupp AG’S marine arm & india’s mazagon dock shipbuilders are likely to jointly bid for the project. In anticipation of the pact, shares of the indian shipbuilding yard rose as much as 7.7% to a record high. Submarines are a key element of maritime strategy for modern naval warfare planners. Remember, germany is among india's indo-pacific allies. A bilateral defence cooperation agreement was signed in 2006, which provides framework for annual consultations.

<p>Canada’s National Security Advisor (NSA) has accused India of meddling in the country’s affairs, putting the world’s biggest democracy in the league of authoritative nations such as Russia, China and Iran.</p>

<p>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s NSA Jody Thomas on Friday said, “When I talk about foreign interference and economic security, I’m now talking about a number of state actors and non-state proxies.”</p>

<p>“This includes Russia, Iran, India. That said, the actor that comes up most on these issues, and it’s no surprise to anybody, is China,” she added.</p>
