The defence engagement and capacity building is an integral part of the warm and cordial India-Cambodia ties and the visit of squadron is aimed at further consolidating the maritime relationship between the two countries. Previously in February 2024, the Cambodian Navy participated in Ex-MILAN 24 at Visakhapatnam.
