MILAN 24, a multi-national exercise that the Indian Navy will conduct, is scheduled to take place at Visakhapatnam from February 19th to 20th.

In the past, the Eastern Naval Command participated in the 11th iteration of this exercise, which took place in Visakhapatnam between February and March 22. The exercise’s theme was “Camaraderie, Cohesion, and Collaboration.”

By India’s “Look East policy,” the Multi-National Naval Exercise (MILAN) is a multi-national naval exercise that takes place every two years. It was initiated in 1995 with the involvement of four foreign countries: Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.

The Andaman and Nicobar command was responsible for the success of the MILAN Exercise up until the tenth iteration of the exercise. It has been decided that Visakhapatnam will serve as the primary location for any future MILAN exercises.

The MILAN 24 exercise would be divided into two distinct phases: the “Harbour phase” and the “Sea phase.” The goal of the harbor phase is to encourage cultural exchange among the participating nations, while the sea phase includes ships with Maritime Patrol aircraft and submarines from countries that are friendly to the United States.

In addition to serving as a forum for nations to create alliances, exchange ideas, and improve maritime security to increase their maritime might, the MILAN is a symbol of India’s commitment to promoting maritime cooperation and security in the region surrounding the Indian Ocean.
