The mission by the Indian Navy Service's Saryu-class patrol vessel Sumedha to Mozambique will help improve overall relations between the two countries, as well as enhance marine defense cooperation.
India, after sending its Naval Ship Sumedha to Maputo of Mozambique, has said its visit is aimed at strengthening long standing diplomatic relations, reinforce maritime co-operation and boost interoperability between both the navies.
Professional interactions, cross deck visits, planning conferences and Joint EEZ surveillance from 23-25 November 2023 are scheduled during its visit, an official statement said.
Activities during the port call include Courtesy Calls by the Commanding Officer on various dignitaries and government officials of Mozambique including the Navy Commandant, Mozambique Navy and Mayor of Maputo City, it added.
India and Mozambique, who enjoy warm and friendly relations and share common values of democracy, development and secularism, have been having regular high-level exchanges and interactions in numerous fields, it added.

"Bilateral Defense Cooperation is also being progressed through regular Joint Defense Working Group (JDWG) meetings. Indian Naval ships are regularly deployed overseas as part of Indian Navy’s mission of building ‘bridges of friendship’ and strengthening international cooperation with friendly countries," the statement said.
