India and Sri Lanka commissioned a Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) on June 20, aimed at enhancing maritime security cooperation between the two nations. This initiative, supported by a grant from New Delhi, underscores the strategic partnership in maritime security amidst regional geopolitical dynamics, including concerns over port developments and naval activities. The MRCC comprises main and sub-centres strategically located to bolster coordination and response capabilities along Sri Lanka's coastline, reinforcing collaborative efforts in the Indian Ocean Region.
