DOHA
WITHIN the framework of its visit to the region, Indian Naval Ship Mumbai sailed out of Hamad Port on Thursday after completion of a successful visit to Doha, which witnessed multiple professional and social engagements, enhancing bilateral relations between the two friendly countries.
The warship undertook cooperative engagements with the Qatar Navy and a passage exercise between INS Mumbai and Qatari Amiri Naval Forces (QANF) ships was conducted off Doha on Thursday. The aim of the exercise was to build interoperability and ensure that both navies benefit from each other’s experiences towards incorporating best practices.
Captain Amit Srivastava, commanding officer of the ship, also called on the Ambassador of India to Qatar, HE P Kumaran and Brigadier Faisal al Binali, head of Operations, QANF during the visit.
Apart from official calls, joint harbour training, sporting events and inter-ship visits were organised during the ship’s stay. School children from various Indian schools also visited the ship. In addition, demonstration and workshop on Yoga by the Embassy of India was conducted onboard the warship.
Bilateral ties between Qatar and India have grown significantly over the last few years as both nations share a common vision of global peace and harmonious co-existence. Visit of INS Mumbai, soon after the participation by Indian Naval Ship Kolkata in DIMDEX-18 in March this year, is testimony to the growing relations between the two nations.
