Coinciding with the Swarnim Jayanti of the Bharatiya Tatrakshak, India will host the fifth Coast Guard Global Summit (CGGS) in New Delhi in February 2027. As part of the preparatory engagements, the Bharatiya Tatrakshak hosted the Working Level Meeting (WLM) of the 5th CGGS in hybrid mode today.
The deliberations focused on key institutional and organisational aspects of the forthcoming Summit, including the refinement of the CGGS Meeting Guidelines, strengthening of the Information Sharing Mechanism, and further development and management of the CGGS website. Discussions also explored avenues for enhancing collective capability building through greater exchange of professional expertise, operational experiences and best practices.
The Working Level Meeting provided an important platform to advance institutional preparations for the 5th CGGS and facilitate dialogue and coordination among participating maritime agencies. The meeting also reviewed the proposed Activity Calendar for future collaborative engagements, aimed at promoting sustained cooperation and strengthening maritime partnerships among participating agencies.
The 5th CGGS will be a significant manifestation of Bharat’s MAHASAGAR vision and its commitment to fostering a collaborative, inclusive and forward-looking maritime order. Through its sustained engagement and collective endeavour, Indian Coast Guard remains committed to contributing to international efforts for the safety, security and well-being of the global maritime commons.
