Indian Navy's INS Tushil arrives in Seychelles on her maiden passage around West coast of Africa

India's INS Tushil, on her maiden passage around the West coast of Africa, arrived at Port Victoria, Seychelles, on February 7 for an operational turnaround.

Officials from the High Commission of India and officials from the Indian Navy detachment warmly welcomed the ship.

"During the port call, Captain Peter Varghese, the Commanding Officer, hosted Shri Kartik Pande, HCI (High Commissioner of India) to Seychelles, and Maj Gen Michael Rosette, Chief of Defence Forces, Seychelles Defence Forces," read a statement issued by the Indian government.

A demonstration of the NISHAR—MITRA Terminal was also undertaken during the visit.

India’s bilateral engagement with Seychelles is characterised by historical contacts and embodies close friendship, understanding, and cooperation.

Diplomatic ties were established with Seychelles after its independence in 1976.

When Seychelles attained freedom on 29 June 1976, a contingent from INS Nilgiri participated in the Independence Day celebrations.

This visit by INS Tushil seeks to advance the strong relationship between the two Indian Ocean Region(IOR) nations.
