India must engage maritime nations.

Despite reduced activity in the Western Indian Ocean Region in recent years, pirate networks responsible for the original Somali piracy crisis have sustained themselves through small-scale attacks and involvement in an array of maritime crimes. The spate of attacks over the last few months off the Horn of Africa, apparently triggered by perceived vulnerability in vessels transiting the area, may point to an elevated risk for a return of piracy. This is a key issue raised in the State of Maritime Piracy 2016, published today by Oceans Beyond Piracy (OBP).
