Ways to expand bilateral maritime security cooperation in sync with fast-expanding India-U.S. strategic partnership figured prominently during Navy Chief Admiral R. Hari Kumar’s four-day visit to the U.S., officials said on September 24.
The Chief of Naval Staff visited the U.S. from September 19 to 22 primarily to attend the 25th International Seapower Symposium (ISS).
“The visit of the Navy Chief to the U.S. provided a significant opportunity for apex level navy-to-navy engagements for deepening bilateral cooperation as well as engaging with diverse partners across the Indo-Pacific,” Indian Navy spokesperson Commander Vivek Madhwal said.
