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.
