Indian naval vessels to make port of call in Dubai

Dubai - Maritime cooperation between India and the UAE has increased steadily in recent years, and there are frequent port visits by ships of both countries

Three Indian naval vessels - the Deepak, Tarkash and Delhi - will visit Dubai from May 7 to 10.
The ships are part of the Indian Navy's Western Naval Command based in Mumbai, and will be on a month-long deployment to the Arabian Gulf to enhance bilateral ties with friendly regional navies.
During the visit, the ships will have professional interactions with local defence forces aimed at enhancing cooperation and sharing experiences of naval operations including disaster management and the fight against maritime terrorism and piracy.
Currently, the Indian navy is the largest resident navy in the Indian Ocean region, with capabilities including aircraft carriers, submarines, aircraft and marine commandos. The overwhelming majority of its vessels are designed and constructed in India.
