The third edition of Goa Maritime Conclave (GMC)-2021 is being held from November 7 to 9, 2021, under the aegis of Naval War College, Goa, said an Indian navy press release. The GMC is the Indian Navy's Outreach Initiative providing a multinational platform to harness the collective wisdom of practitioners of maritime security and the academia towards garnering outcome-oriented maritime thought.

GMC-21 would build upon the working level deliberations of the Goa Maritime Symposium-21 held earlier in May this year, as the Sherpa event for the Conclave, added the press release. The theme for this year's edition of GMC is "Maritime Security and Emerging NonTraditional Threats: A Case for Proactive Role for IOR Navies", which has been derived keeping in mind the necessity of 'winning everyday peace' in the maritime domain.
