India to Join Malacca Strait Patrols After Singapore's Approval

Imagine a busy highway for ships called the Malacca Strait, where a lot of important goods travel.

India wants to help keep this highway safe.

Singapore agreed to let India join the group of countries that already watch over this area.

This is important because a lot of the world's trade goes through here, and India also gets most of its important supplies through this highway.

India already has ships nearby and this lets them officially work with other countries to protect the shipping lane, which is a win-win for everyone!
