Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday highlighted the rapidly changing global security scenario, saying the world’s oceans are no longer just channels for commerce but are increasingly emerging as key centres of strategic power. Addressing the Maritime Conclave “Sagar Sankalp”, Singh said the global order is undergoing a major shift where long-held assumptions and geopolitical structures are being challenged. “Earlier, the seas were considered only a medium of trade, but today we can see them becoming a centre of strategic dominance,” Singh said during his address.
