The joint effort was a showcase of the commitment by both countries to enhance security in the Indian Ocean region and address the issue of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Captain Vikas Guleria, the commander of INS Teg, had discussions with a number of Senior Mauritian officers including the Commissioner of Police Mr. Rampersad Sooroojebally, Cabinet Secretary Mr. Suresh Seebaluck, Secretary for Home Affairs Mrs. Kan Oye Fong Weng Poorun and Indian High Commissioner Mr Anurag Srivastava. These engagements facilitated enhanced understanding while deepening strategic diplomatic and defense ties

The Indian Navy also conducted diving demonstrations post-sailing. Additionally, INS Teg’s technical team extended support to CGS Valiant, helping operationalize a diesel generator, a gesture warmly appreciated by the NCG.

Cultural Diplomacy: Yoga and Sports Engagement

Celebrating International Day of Yoga 2025, a large-scale yoga session was organized on 21 June, bringing together over 150 participants, including senior Mauritian officials, NCG personnel, and INS Teg’s crew. The session showcased the role of soft diplomacy in naval engagements. Recreational and sports activities such as treks and a volleyball match were also held, strengthening people-to-people connections and camaraderie.
