Gateway House interviews David Brewster, Visiting Fellow, Strategic

Visiting Fellow, Maritime Studies Programme, Gateway House, on his
latest report, ‘The India-Australia Security Engagement: Opportunities
and Challenges’
Q. In your paper, you have mentioned about potential cooperation on the Antarctic. Please elaborate on this aspect.
The Australians have had stations in the Antarctic for some 60 years I
believe. Indians have been there for a shorter period. But just
recently India opened a new major station near the Australian stations.
That has opened up a potential for greater co-operation including in
logistics which in the Antarctic is extremely important.
