India and Indonesia are conducting the 5th edition of the ‘Samudra Shakti – 2025’ naval exercise at Visakhapatnam, aimed at strengthening maritime cooperation between the two nations. First initiated in 2018, the exercise focuses on enhancing interoperability, mutual understanding, and the exchange of best practices in naval operations. Such joint drills improve operational readiness, foster strategic partnerships, and enable both navies to collaborate effectively during maritime security operations. This continued engagement reflects the growing significance of India-Indonesia defence relations in maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
