The visit exemplifies the strong and long-standing ties between the two navies and forms part of the Indian Navy's ongoing operational deployment in the South East Asia Region, which is in consonance with the Government of India's Act East Policy, the vision of MAHASAGAR, and also furthers the objectives of the ASEAN - India Year of Maritime Cooperation 2026.

During the port call, the ships will engage with the Republic of Singapore Navy through professional interactions, cross-deck visits, and discussions on issues of mutual maritime interest. These engagements will provide an opportunity for personnel of both navies to exchange operational experiences and Best Practices, enhancing mutual understanding and interoperability.

India remains committed to fostering collective maritime security, promoting regional cooperation and advancing collaboration among maritime partners. The visit to Singapore reinforces these objectives and contributes to strengthening the shared vision of a safe, secure, and inclusive maritime environment.
