Four Indian Naval Ships – Delhi, Satpura, Shakti and Kiltan – have arrived in Singapore as part of the operational deployment of the force to Southeast Asia.

The ships, under the command of Rear Admiral Susheel Menon, received a warm welcome on Wednesday from the personnel of the Republic of Singapore Navy and the High Commission of India in Singapore.

This visit is poised to further strengthen the longstanding friendship and cooperation between India and Singapore through a series of engagements and activities. The current deployment underscores the strong linkages between both navies.

Professional interactions with the Republic of Singapore Navy, discussions with academia and engagements with the community, which reflect the shared values of both nations are planned during the visit.

The navies of India and Singapore share robust operational relations spanning over three decades of cooperation, coordination and collaboration with regular visits, exchange of best practices and reciprocal training arrangements.
