The visit contributes to strengthening the traditional friendship and the Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and India, particularly bilateral defense cooperation. It also helps maintain exchanges and engagement between the two navies.

During their stay in Ho Chi Minh City, officers and sailors aboard INS Udaygiri and INS Taragiri will participate in a range of activities, including a wreath-laying ceremony at the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial, courtesy calls on leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the Naval Region 2 Command, a yoga performance aboard the ships, and visits to cultural and historical sites in the city.

Below are photos of the welcome ceremony for the ships.
