The Indian naval ship SAMRAT, with 22 officers and 115 sailors onboard, docked in Marine Police Zone 3, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, on December 4.

The delegation, led by Mukesh Purohit, Deputy Inspector General and the ship captain, held a working session with Vietnamese marine police to share experiences in combating pirates, protecting fishermen and ensuring safe shipping passage.

Purohit expressed his hope to reinforce the traditional relations and cooperation between the two countries through joint training activities and delegation exchanges.

The visit demonstrates the solidarity and friendship between the people and armed forces of the two nations, and creates an opportunity for young soldiers from both sides to exchange experiences, develop skills with new equipment, and deal with sea violations./. VNA
