Friends of DCoC Meeting – Virtual

Signatories of the DCoC/JA have requested, through the IMO, for a meeting of the Friends of the DCoC in light of the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea amongst other maritime security engagements that have been ongoing in the Region. Recognizing the urgent need for both the DCoC Signatory States and the Friends to collaborate through a coordinated approach to effectively address the crisis, the DCoC States have appealed via IMO for this gathering to tackle these pressing matters, alongside other items on the agenda.
