India is holding its first-ever military exercises with 11 African countries - AIKEYME 2025. The maneuvers have become an important step for New Delhi in exporting security: now it's not just about trade, but also about direct military cooperation.
The exercises took place off the coast of Tanzania. The focus is on combating piracy and coordinating fleets. In parallel, India is developing contacts with Ethiopia, Nigeria, Mauritius and the Seychelles: it supplies equipment, trains officers and signs defense agreements.
