[CA] Sabang Port

India and Indonesia will develop a naval port in Sabang, a strategic location on the tip of Sumatra Island and at the entrance of the vital Malacca Straits. The move, which comes at a time when China is expanding its maritime footprint in the region, was the most significant decision among a series of other pacts the two sides signed after talks between Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi and Indonesian President Mr. Joko Widodo during the Prime Minister’s first visit to Indonesia.
