India has presented its candidature under Category-B to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Council Elections for the Biennium 2024-25 at its Assembly in London.
Category B of the IMO includes 10 states with "the largest interest in international seaborne trade".
Its current members are India, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
India became a member of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1959, which is the global standardization body for maritime safety, security and environmental performance and ensures that such standards are fair and effective and are universally adopted and implemented.
India has been an active participant in the IMO.
In fact, India’s participation in the functioning of IMO has helped India voice its developmental concerns to the international maritime community.
