Indian Navy's First Training Squadron arrive in Cambodia
The ships of First Training Squadron (1TS) comprising INS Sujata and ICGS Veera arrived at Sihanoukville Port, Cambodia on 14 Feb 25 as part of Long Range Training Deployment of the squadron to South East Asia.
The ships were warmly welcomed by representatives of Maritime agencies of Cambodia.
During the port call from 14 - 17 Feb 25, the ships will engage in numerous activities aimed at enhancing cooperation and interoperability between the Indian Navy and the Royal Cambodian Navy (RCN).
The visit includes professional exchanges, cross training visits, social interaction, friendly sports fixtures and PASSEX with RCN.
The visit also features formal handing over of a Small Arms Simulator to Royal Cambodian Army.
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 Feb 2024, the Cambodian Navy participated in Ex-MILAN 24 at Visakhapatnam.
The extant visits highlight the importance of growing India-Cambodia relations and strengthening maritime association and regional stability as a part of India's 'Act East' policy.
