The first bilateral naval exercise between India and the Republic of Korea, named IN–RoKN, took place at the Busan Naval Base in South Korea. This exercise was designed to enhance maritime cooperation, build naval interoperability, and strengthen strategic ties between the two nations. The Harbour Phase focused on mutual understanding, professional exchanges, and camaraderie, while the Sea Phase involved complex joint operations and real-time drills. Conducting the exercise in South Korea highlights the host nation’s role in facilitating Indo-Pacific maritime security collaboration and underscores the significance of bilateral defence relations.
