Indo-Mediterranean Doctrine Enters the Strategic Mainstream (decode39.com)

• Meloni and Modi co-author an op-ed promoting the Indo-Mediterranean doctrine.
• Doctrine links security of the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean region.
• Emphasizes trade corridors, counterterrorism, and maritime security cooperation.

"In a joint op-ed published by Decode39, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally introduce the Indo-Mediterranean as a unified geopolitical space. The article argues that Europe, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean share common strategic interests in maritime security, trade routes, and counterterrorism. This marks the doctrine's shift from academic discourse to high-level policy, potentially fostering deeper cooperation on infrastructure projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor and joint naval patrols."
