Two ships of the Indian Navys Western Fleet INS Tabar and INS Aditya are arriving at Doha Port on September 10 on a four-day goodwill visit of the country.
According to a communique of the Indian embassy, the visit is in the framework of excellent relations and multi-faceted co-operation between India and Qatar.
The visit has been made possible only because of the active support extended to the naval teams from India and Qatar Emiri Navy, it said.
The INS Tabar is part of the state-of-the-art Talwar class ships (Talwar, Trishul and Tabar) of the navy of the South Asian country. The Talwar class ships reinforce the growing strength of the Indian Navy and considerably extend its blue water capability, according to the mission statement. The ship is commanded by Captain Venkat Raman.
The 125m-long vessel was commissioned in 2004.
INS Aditya is one of Indian Navys indigenously-built fleet replenishment tankers. The vessel is commonly referred to as the lifeline of Indian Navys Western Fleet. It is capable of carrying and transferring all types of liquid cargo. The ship can also operate a variety of helicopters. It is commanded by Captain Roopam Bembey.
After the visit of Indian Navy ships, the Qatar government will host the third meeting of the Joint Committee on Defence Co-operation (JCDC) between the two countries in Doha on September 15 and 16.
The JCDC was set up to implement the bilateral agreement on defence co-operation signed in Doha on 9 November, 2008 during the visit of Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India to the State of Qatar.
The two governments have agreed to renew this agreement for a further period of five years.
