Bharat To Host 5th Coast Guard Global Summit In New Delhi

In a reaffirmation of India's dedication to bolstering international maritime collaboration and promoting secure, sustainable, and safer seas, Bharat has announced its hosting of the 5th Coast Guard Global Summit (CGGS) in New Delhi in February 2027. This summit is set to coincide with the Swarnim Jayanti of Bharatiya Tatrakshak, a significant milestone for the maritime community.

As part of the preparations for this momentous event, Bharatiya Tatrakshak has organized a Working Level Meeting (WLM) of the 5th CGGS in a hybrid format. This meeting has brought together a diverse group of representatives from coast guards, maritime agencies, and international and regional maritime organizations. The WLM serves as an essential platform for advancing the institutional groundwork for the 5th CGGS and fostering dialogue among the participating maritime agencies.

The discussions at the WLM covered a range of critical institutional and organizational aspects of the upcoming Summit. These included refining the CGGS Meeting Guidelines, strengthening the Information Sharing Mechanism, and further developing the CGGS website. Additionally, the conversations delved into avenues for enhancing collective capability building through increased exchange of professional expertise, operational experience, and best practices.

The participants also made progress on the proposed Activity Calendar for future collaborative engagements.

The 5th CGGS will not only be a significant milestone in India's commitment to the MAHASAGAR vision but also a testament to Bharat's enduring commitment to a collaborative and forward-looking maritime order. Through persistent engagement and collective effort, India remains steadfast in its dedication to contributing to international efforts for the safety, security, and well-being of the global maritime commons.
