In a move aimed at boosting defence cooperation with its eastern neighbours, India is hosting a multi-nation naval exercise off the Andaman coast from January 9. Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand [Images] have confirmed participation in the almost weeklong multi-nation exercises 'Milan-06', a naval spokesman said in New Delhi. He said some other Southeast Asian nations like Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and neighbouring Sri Lanka [Images] would also participate in the exercises in which the focus would be on disaster relief, EEZ patrols and interdiction at sea. The multi-nation exercises were slated to be held in January 2005, but were postponed because of the tsunami tragedy.
