The seminar component of the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) 2014 wrapped up today after a couple of days of intensive discussion and exchange of ideas by delegates of member nations and observers.
The IONS seminar, which was held in Perth after the RAN assumed chairmanship of IONS from the South African Navy, saw a number of speakers discuss issues that were common to nations that border the Indian Ocean.
Speaking at the closing session, Chief of Australian Navy Vice Admiral Ray Griggs said he had received excellent feedback on the quality of the presentations and the speakers over the past two days.
