The Indian Naval Ship (INS) Trikand, a cutting-edge stealth frigate, recently docked at Limassol Port in Cyprus, signifying a strengthened strategic partnership between India and Cyprus following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit in June. This visit highlights a commitment to enhancing defense cooperation, as both nations agreed on a four-year action plan focusing on maritime security. During its deployment, INS Trikand also participated in the inaugural bilateral maritime exercise with Greece and the multinational Exercise Bright Star 2025 in Egypt, showcasing India’s growing defense collaborations in the Mediterranean. This initiative not only reflects India’s naval capabilities but also reinforces its role in fostering regional stability and security through enhanced international partnerships.
