To highlight the proximity between India and Indonesia and the strengthening cooperation in maritime security and safety, the Indian Coast Guard ship INS Vijit is on a four-day visit to the Indonesian port of Sabang, reports Defence News.
Comdt T Ashish commands the Indian fleet with a team of 15 officers and 90 men. The fleet would visit Sabang port in Indonesia's Aceh province from 17 March to 20 March, the report quoted the Indian Embassy statement as saying.
The officers will interact with Bakamla (Indonesian Coast Guard), Indonesian Armed Forces and the civil administration at Sabang, 1,855 kilometres from the Indonesian capital.
The Indian naval ship, INS Sumitra, had visited Sabang in July last year, highlighting the maritime proximity between India and Indonesia.
Both nations had arrived at a shared vision of maritime cooperation in the strategic Indo-Pacific region to strengthen economic and people-to-people exchanges during PM Modi's visit to Indonesia in May 2018.
Connectivity with Sabang port was reportedly identified as a critical priority area.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
