AUSINDEX-17

Indian Naval Ships Jyoti, Shivalik and Kamorta, on a port visit to Freemantle, Australia participated in the AUSINDEX-17, held 13- 17 June 2017, being the second edition of bilateral maritime exercises between the two navies. The exercises aimed to increase interoperability and are in consonance with the growing cooperation between the two countries. Indian Naval assets have been increasingly deployed in recent times to address the main maritime concerns of the region. In addition, considering the Indian Government’s vision of SAGAR ( Security and Growth for All in the Region), the Indian Navy has also been involved in assisting countries in the Indian Ocean Region with EEZ Surveillance, Search and Rescue, and other capacity-building and capability-enhancement activities.
