| Summary |
The globally most significant maritime choke points, namely the Gulf of Aden, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Malacca, are situated in the Indian Ocean. The security challenges in the region, ranging from failing states to rivalry between major powers, pose ongoing threats to maritime security and free passage through maritime choke points. Germany's prosperity depends on unrestricted international sea trade and unimpeded access to raw material markets. Ensuring maritime security in the Indian Ocean is therefore in Germany's fundamental interest. Berlin must engage in the region, and do so much more strongly than in the past. To make a sustained contribution to improving maritime security in the region, Germany will have to maintain a continuous presence there, establish close bilateral partnerships with key states, engage in security, economic and scientific collaborations as well as being involved in regional and international organisations |
