Visakhapatnam: The 13th edition of the India–Sri Lanka bilateral maritime exercise, ‘SLINEX-26’, concluded in Visakhapatnam. Conducted from 17 to 21 September, the exercise provided opportunities for professional interactions, exchange of best practices and enhancement of interoperability between the two navies.

The harbour phase of the exercise featured professional exchanges, cross-deck visits and sporting interactions

between the Indian Navy and Sri Lanka Navy.

The sea phase featured coordinated maritime manoeuvres, air operations, night replenishment at sea and special forces drills, including Visit, Board, Search and Seizure and slithering operations. These activities provided valuable opportunities to hone operational coordination and interoperability between the participating forces.
