As part of the ongoing training deployment to Southeast Asia, ships of the Indian Navy\u2019s First Training Squadron (1TS) \u2014\u00a0INS Tir, INS Shardul, INS Sujata\u2014along with ICGS Sarathi,\u00a0arrived at Phuket Deep Sea Port, Thailand, on\u00a025 Jan 2026. The ships were accorded a warm welcome by the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) amidst the ceremonial fanfare of the RTN Band.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The visit symbolises the growing maritime partnership between India and Thailand, underpinned by a shared commitment to regional security, stability, and mutual understanding. The port call assumes special significance as 2026 is being celebrated as the\u00a0ASEAN\u2013India Year of Maritime Cooperation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the port call, personnel from the Indian Navy and the RTN will engage in a range of professional and training interactions aimed at enhancing cooperation and operational synergy. Planned activities include interactions with senior RTN leadership, professional exchanges, yoga sessions, friendly sports fixtures, and Passage Exercise (PASSEX).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian Navy and the RTN share a close, friendly, and steadily evolving bilateral relationship, strengthened through regular engagements and exercises.\u00a0Bilateral initiatives such as\u00a0Ex Ayutthaya<\/em>\u00a0and the Indo\u2013Thai Coordinated Patrol\u00a0(CORPAT)<\/em>\u00a0continue to enhance coordination in shared maritime spaces. Additionally,\u00a0the trilateral maritime exercise\u00a0SITMEX<\/em>, conducted last year,\u00a0reflects enhanced interoperability and professional synergy among regional navies, including the RTN. The Indian Navy looks forward to building upon the RTN\u2019s exemplary stewardship of the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) as\u00a0India assumes the IONS Chair from Thailand in February 2026.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The visit of the First Training Squadron to Thailand aligns with the Government of India\u2019s vision of\u00a0MAHASAGAR<\/em>\u00a0(Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions)\u00a0and underscores the Indian Navy\u2019s commitment to constructive engagement with regional partners. The deployment highlights India\u2019s role as a responsible maritime partner and its continued efforts to strengthen maritime security and cooperation across the Indian Ocean Region.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
