Indian Naval Ships Tir and Sujata, along with Indian Coast Guard Ship Varuna, comprising the first training squadron, are scheduled to visit Colombo, Sri Lanka today. Visits by Indian Naval ships and Srilankan ships to each other’s countries as well as bilateral exercises provide opportunities for extensive operational and training engagements and contribute to the maintenance of good order at sea.
The present deployment of the Training Squadron to Colombo would further cement the close relations between the two nations and the two navies. The Southern Naval Command (SNC) is the training command of the Indian Navy, which provides both basic and advanced training to officers and sailors of the Indian Navy.
