The Indian Ocean Rim Association is an international organisation of Indian Ocean rim states that grew out of the Indian Ocean Rim Initiative launched in Mauritius in March 1995 and was formally established in March 1997, bringing together government, business and academic representatives from twenty three member states to promote sustainable and balanced regional growth. It works to remove barriers to trade, investment and technology flows around the Indian Ocean and maintains twelve dialogue partners, including China, Japan, Russia, the United States and the European Union.
