Also established a maritime zone of interest in the northwestern Indian Ocean
February 22, 2022
The Council also decided to initiate the implementation of the concept of the coordinated maritime presences in the northwestern Indian Ocean by establishing a maritime zone of interest corresponding to the maritime zone stretching from the Strait of Hormuz in the tropics of Capricorn and from the north of the Red Sea to the center of the Indian Ocean. The Council conclusions emphasize that the implementation of the concept of coordinated maritime presences in the northwestern Indian Ocean will complement the activities of the EU and its Member States in the region, in compliance with the mandate and the chain command of the EUNAVFOR Atlanta operation.
The Council will review the implementation of the concept of coordinated maritime presences both in the Gulf of Guinea and the northwestern Indian Ocean by February 2024.
