Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Indian Navy, has proceeded on an official visit to Brazil from December 9 to 12, 2025.

The visit aims to consolidate the robust and growing maritime partnership between the Indian Navy and the Brazilian Navy, an important pillar of the broader India–Brazil Strategic Partnership.

During the visit, the CNS will hold discussions with senior leadership of Brazil, including Jose Mucio, the Defence Minister of Brazil; Admiral Renato Rodrigues de Aguiar Freire, Chief of the Joint Staff of the Brazilian Armed Forces; and Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen, Commander of the Brazilian Navy. These interactions will provide an opportunity to review ongoing bilateral maritime cooperation, enhance operational-level linkages, and explore new avenues for collaboration between the two navies.

The visit includes engagements with operational commands, visits to naval bases, and shipyards of the Brazilian Navy.

Discussions will focus on shared maritime priorities, naval interoperability, capacity building, and collaboration within multilateral frameworks including the broader South–South collaboration.

The visit by the Chief of the Naval Staff reaffirms the Indian Navy’s commitment to enhancing cooperation with the Brazilian Navy in the areas of maritime security, professional exchanges, and capacity building, thereby contributing to stability in the global maritime commons.
