India Eyes Key Role in Malacca Strait Security, Gains Singapore’s Backing |Vantage with Palki Sharma

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in a diplomatic meeting focused on strengthening regional ties. While the two leaders signed key agreements on AI, space, and digital innovation, one strategic topic stood out — the Malacca Strait. This narrow sea lane carries 40% of global trade, sits above one of the busiest air routes, and below it lies a web of critical internet cables. With rising tensions and increased militarization in the Indo-Pacific, India is now seeking a larger role in the Malacca Strait Patrol — a security initiative led by Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Can India become a part of this elite maritime security network? What does it mean for regional stability and global trade?
