The Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Abhay Thakur, on Monday called for closer working relationship between the Nigerian Navy (NN) and the Indian Navy (IN).
Commodore Suleman Dahun, the NN Spokesman in a statement disclosed that Thakur made the call when he visited the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Adm. Ibok-Ete Ibas at the Naval Headquarters, in Abuja.
The High Commissioner called for increased collaboration and cooperation between the NN and the IN in the areas of training, hydrography, security in the Gulf of Guinea and in developing platforms such as training ships and landing ship tanks for the NN.
Thakur said he already had discussions with Minister of Science and Technology and the National Security Adviser (NSA) on the possible areas of cooperation between the Indian government and the Nigerian government.
The statement also quoted Thakur as saying that “The Indian government will be willing to assist in the areas of combating insurgency and terrorism.”
He mentioned that the IN would also provide additional training slots for NN as well as providing hydrographic assistance to the NN.

Responding, Ibas noted that the IN had always offered great support to the NN in the areas of training and military cooperation.
On training, Ibas stated that the NN would look at the various training billets of the IN to see areas where the two navies could have exchange programmes.
Also, the CNS stated that the NN would leverage on the vast experience of the IN Dockyard Goa, as it tries to develop and expand its already existing dockyards.
The statement disclosed that the India High Commissioner was accompanied on the visit by the Indian Defence Adviser, Colonel Sachin Dubey.
It also said that the CNS received the High Commissioner in company of some of his Principal Staff Officers in the Naval Headquarters.
