The port calls are a true testimony of the growing friendship between the two countries, and both the navies are poised for enhanced cooperation.

The Indian Naval Ships Shivalik and Kamorta are indigenously designed and developed multi-role Guided Missile Stealth Frigate and Anti-Submarine Corvette respectively.

They are under the Eastern Naval Command and form part of the Indian Navy's Eastern Fleet based at Visakhapatnam.

The two ships are equipped with a versatile array of weapons and sensors, carry multi-role helicopters and represent the growth of India's warship-building capabilities. (ANI)
