Indian Navy Chief's Mauritius Visit Strengthens Maritime Ties

The leader of India's navy, Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, is like the top captain of all the navy ships and sailors in India.

He has gone on a visit to Mauritius, an island country in the Indian Ocean.

The visit lasts four days, from Monday until Thursday.

During the trip, he will meet the leaders of Mauritius to talk about keeping the ocean safe and how the two countries can protect each other.

India and Mauritius are good friends and often train together on the water.

They work together by watching over the ocean, visiting each other's ports, and making maps of the sea.

Mauritius also joins big navy events with India, like MILAN, where many countries' navies meet.

The two countries share a vision called MAHASAGAR, which is a plan for the safety and growth of countries in the region.

This is the navy chief's first trip to another country since he got his new job.

The visit shows that India thinks Mauritius is a very important friend.
