INS Sahyadri, a Shivalik-class stealth frigate of the Indian Navy, participated in the Japan-India Maritime Exercise (JAIMEX) 2025 at Yokosuka, Japan. This exercise underscores the growing defence cooperation between India and Japan, which share a Special Strategic and Global Partnership. The collaboration highlights mutual interests in maintaining regional maritime security, strengthening interoperability, and enhancing strategic coordination between the two navies. Such joint exercises have been a key feature of their defence ties since 2014, reinforcing shared commitments toward peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
