Indian Navy Ships Conduct Diplomatic Port Call in Mombasa
Imagine a group of Indian Navy ships on a long journey for training.
They stopped at Mombasa, Kenya, for a visit!
They were greeted warmly by the Kenya Navy.
While there, they'll do fun things together like train, exercise in the sea, practice yoga, and even have a concert with the bands from both navies.
They are also doing activities in the community, like visiting schools.
The purpose is to make friends and work together better, following the idea of MAHASAGAR, which means helping each other for safety and growth in the regions.
Ships from the Indian Navy's First Training Squadron (1TS) made a port call in Mombasa, Kenya.
The visit is part of a long-range training deployment in the South West Indian Ocean Region.
Personnel from both navies will participate in joint training activities.
A Maritime Partnership Exercise (MPX) and Passage Exercise (PASSEX) will be conducted.
The visit aims to strengthen maritime partnerships between the two navies.
