The forum reviewed with concern, the recent incident of missile firing, claimed as accidental by India, which could have resulted in a major disaster. It was emphasized that despite Indian acknowledgment of the mistake, relevant international forums must take a serious view of the incident and subject the safety and security protocols of Indian strategic assets to deliberate oversight.
