Indian Navy Ships Shivalik, Kamorta Visit Vietnam

Indian Naval Ships, Shivalik and Kamorta, forward deployed in the South China Sea, reached Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. During the visit, the ships would be undertaking numerous professional interactions with the Vietnam People's Navy. 

According to the defence ministry’s statement, the visit is part of the bilateral defence cooperation activities to further enhance the robust ties between the two navies and mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Vietnam.

Earlier this year, two Indian Naval Ships, Sahyadri and Kadmatt had also visited Ho Chi Minh City.

The visiting Indian Naval ships Shivalik and Kamorta form part of the Indian Navy’s Eastern Fleet based at Visakhapatnam.

The two boats, designed and constructed in India, are equipped with a versatile array of weapons and sensors, carry multi-role helicopters and symbolise India’s advanced warship-building capabilities.
