The Indian Navy will take part in the 32nd edition of SIMBEX, the Singapore-India Maritime Bilateral Exercise later this month in Singapore.
It was previously known as Exercise Lion King.
The exercise supports India’s Vision SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) and Act East policy.
The maiden ASEAN-India Maritime exercise was held in 2023 and was co-hosted by the Republic of Singapore Navy.
The recent complex HARD and SAR (Search and Rescue) operations by the Indian Navy were very successfully concluded in the Arabian Sea.
India will host the major future maritime events such as the International Fleet Review, Multinational Naval Exercise MILAN, and the IONS Conclave of Chiefs in Visakhapatnam in early 2026.
