India, US meet on maritime diplomacy ahead of crucial net-zero vote

India's Directorate General of Shipping meets a US delegation to advance maritime talks on green shipping and security, with no discussion on the US threat over the IMO's net-zero emissions vote

While economic diplomacy between India and the United States (US) in the main has been deadlocked owing to the tariff issue, India’s maritime regulator, the Directorate General of Shipping, on Thursday met a high-level US delegation of officials to advance talks on maritime coordination and diplomacy. 

“The discussions were focused on sustainability and green shipping and also maritime security. The two countries work together in the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) and Shared Awareness and Deconfliction (SHADE) in terms of maritime security, and also for green shipping collaboration. The delegation met to discuss those,” said a senior government official.
