“The maiden participation of indigenously built and the nation's pride INS Vikrant for an International Fleet Review highlights India's continued engagement with partner navies in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and reflects India's emphasis on promoting peace, stability and security through collaboration and interoperability,” said a Navy official.
The participation of the recently commissioned INS Udaygiri further showcases India's advancing indigenous shipbuilding capabilities and its balanced, expanding naval presence in the IOR.
During their stay in Colombo, the ships will participate in key IFR events, including the ceremonial fleet review, city parade, community outreach activities and professional naval interactions.
As part of public outreach initiatives, the ships will also be open to visitors during IFR 2025. This comes days after the Indian and Sri Lankan armies participated in Exercise Mitra Shakti.
The 11th edition of the joint military exercise, ‘Exercise Mitra Shakti-2025', commenced on November 10 at the Foreign Training Node, Belagavi in Karnataka. The exercise was conducted from November 10–23, 2025.
The Indian contingent, which consisted of 170 personnel, was represented mainly by troops from the Rajput Regiment.
On the other hand, the Sri Lankan side consisted of 135 personnel, represented mainly by troops from the Gajaba Regiment. As many as 20 personnel from the Indian Air Force and 10 personnel from the Sri Lankan Air Force also participated in the exercise.
On November 21, India and Sri Lanka held the 11th Army-to-Army Staff Talks (AAST) in Bihar's Bodh Gaya, identifying key areas to boost interoperability and deepen the broader defence partnership.
The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to strong bilateral ties in promoting regional peace and stability.
