Iran Navy flotilla berths at India’s Cochin port
Mon Mar 27, 2017 4:23PM


An Iranian Navy fleet has docked at India’s Naval Port of Cochin in line with the Islamic Republic’s policy of expanding its naval presence in high seas.

The operational training flotilla comprises Shaheed Naqdi destroyer and Tunb warships.

The fleet is scheduled to leave Cochin Port on Wednesday.

Iran and India have adopted measures to develop positive defense and military cooperation during recent years.

In May 2016, an Indian navy flotilla called at the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, as the two countries work to boost friendly maritime relations.

The fleet, comprising INS Trikand (F51) and INS Ganga (F22) frigates, arrived in Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province, for a four-day stay.
