Indian Navy Submarine INS Sindhukesari Arrives in Colombo for Operational Turnaround
The Indian Navy submarine INS Sindhukesari arrived at the Port of Colombo for an operational turnaround, marking another step in growing maritime cooperation between India and Sri Lanka.
According to the Sri Lanka Navy, the submarine reached Colombo on Sunday and was accorded a traditional naval welcome.
During its stay, the crew of INS Sindhukesari will participate in a range of engagements organised by the Sri Lanka Navy, including interactions and visits to prominent tourist locations across the island nation.
The visit comes amid strengthening defence ties between the two countries. Recently, the Indian and Sri Lankan navies conducted joint deep-sea diving exercises off the coast of Colombo, aimed at enhancing coordination in underwater search, rescue and salvage operations.
Officials said such exchanges reflect the deepening maritime partnership and continued collaboration between India and Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean region.
