印度与索马里举行首轮外交部磋商：11月14日签磋商备忘录 重点议海上劫持与海盗
印度与索马里11月15日在摩加迪沙举行首轮外交部磋商（FOC）。印度外交部称，双方讨论了该地区劫持与海盗活动增加的问题，以及有效应对、保障船舶与海员安全的必要性。
首轮磋商依据的是两国外交部11月14日在摩加迪沙签署的磋商备忘录。备忘录签署于印度外交部秘书斯里普里亚·兰加纳坦与索马里副外长哈桑·穆罕默德·阿里的会晤期间，外交部称其将为定期审视双边关系状态与前景提供结构化机制。15日的磋商中，印方代表团由外交部联合秘书苏雷什·库马尔率领，索方代表团由外交与国际合作部常务秘书哈姆扎·阿丹·哈多率领。
兰加纳坦14日还拜会了索马里总统哈桑·谢赫·马哈茂德，转达印度总统穆尔穆与总理莫迪的问候，并与国防部长艾哈迈德·莫阿利姆·菲基讨论加强防务合作。印度驻肯尼亚高级专员公署称，这是印度近年来首次对索马里进行高级别双边访问。双方同意下一轮外交部磋商在印度举行，日期另行商定。
