Indian Naval Ship Tarkash, a stealth frigate of the Indian Navy, departed Port Louis, Mauritius, yesterday on completion of her port call for further deployment in the South West Indian Ocean Region. During the visit, the ship’s crew participated in a range of harbour activities, including professional training capsules for personnel of the Mauritius National Coast Guard. The Defence Ministry said that the ship was also open to visitors on the 21st of June, drawing nearly 450 members of the Indian diaspora and the local community, further strengthening people-to-people ties. The Ministry noted that the visit reaffirmed the close and enduring ties between India and Mauritius and underscored India’s commitment to enhancing maritime cooperation, regional security and the vision of MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions).
