planned

India and Indonesia have announced a strategic partnership for the integrated development of Sabang Port. The flagship project is expected to cover cruise and marine-tourism facilities, maritime industries like shipbuilding and ship-repair, and shore-based services supporting offshore energy activities in the Andaman Sea. The partnership aims to foster institutional, physical, and digital connectivity between India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sumatra Island, driving employment and regional prosperity. Authorities from both nations are encouraged to work out the scope, modalities, and financing of the project in a time-bound and mutually beneficial manner.
