Fostering stronger maritime bilateral ties: Indian Naval Ship INS Savitri arrives in Mozambique
Indian Naval Ship INS Savitri, an Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) of the Indian Navy, arrived at Port Beira, Mozambique, as part of its ongoing deployment in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
"The ship received a warm and ceremonial welcome from personnel of the Mozambique Navy, reflecting the deep historical ties and the strong maritime cooperation between the two nations," read a government statement.
During the visit, personnel from both navies will engage in comprehensive joint training and professional interactions focused on enhancing mutual cooperation and interoperability for future joint deployments.
The training sessions will include professional discussions on navigational aspects and effective EEZ surveillance along with hands on experience on VBSS drills, damage control and firefighting exercises.
As a part of the ship’s community outreach activities, INS Savitri will welcome visitors onboard, providing an opportunity to showcase operational capabilities and the rich maritime traditions of the Indian Navy.
Furthermore, a medical camp will be organised for the local community to reinforce bonds of friendship and goodwill.
The ship’s visit will conclude with joint Yoga sessions and friendly Futsal sports fixtures, fostering camaraderie and team spirit among the personnel from both the navies.
This port call will reaffirm the Indian Navy's commitment as a reliable and Preferred Security Partner in the IOR.
