INS Sumitra, a Naval Offshore Patrol Vessel (NOPV), visited Sydney, Australia during 4-7 November 2016. During this visit, INS Sumitra participated in “Festival of India” and undertook activities towards enhancing cooperation and mutual understanding between the two navies such as official calls, reception on board, ‘ship open to visitors’ and professional interaction between personnel of both the navies.

Such deployments support foreign policy objectives to build bridges of friendship and strengthen international cooperation, political and defence relations with the friendly countries. Under India’s Act East policy, Indian Navy ships and aircrafts are also regularly deployed to the friendly foreign countries in South East Asia, South China Sea and Western / South Pacific. The ships of the Eastern Fleet recently visited the region during the period May to July 2016.
