Indian Navy Ship Kadmatt, an indigenously built Anti-Submarine Warfare Corvette, has arrived at the port of Cairns for a scheduled operational turnaround.
India’s High Commissioner to Australia, Gopal Baglay, held a teleconference with Commander Kutuhal Limaye, Commanding Officer of INS Kadmatt, warmly welcoming the ship and its crew.
He congratulated the Commanding Officer on the vessel’s successful participation in Papua New Guinea’s 50th Independence Day celebrations and its recent port call in Suva, Fiji.
Mr Baglay praised the ship’s officers and crew for their professionalism and dedication in advancing India’s maritime cooperation with regional partners.
During the visit, the Commanding Officer of HMAS Cairns boarded INS Kadmatt for discussions with Commander Limaye. The two officers explored opportunities for mutual cooperation between the Indian Navy and the Royal Australian Navy.
The deployment of INS Kadmatt highlights India’s commitment to peace, stability, and security in the Indo-Pacific, aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions (MAHASAGAR)’.
