  • The 10th Edition of the annual Indian - Sri Lanka Bilateral Maritime exercise SLINEX-2023 is scheduled to be held in Colombo on the 3rd of April.

  • SLINEX-2023 will aim to enhance inter-operability, improve mutual understanding and exchange best practices and procedures in multi-faceted Maritime operations between both Navies. The Harbour Phase would include sports fixtures, yoga sessions and cultural events which would provide an opportunity for personnel from both navies to learn from each other, and re-enforce shared values as well as build bonds of friendship and camaraderie.

  • The annual maritime exercise exemplifies the deep engagement between India and Sri Lanka which has strengthened cooperation in the maritime domain. Interaction between the navies of the two countries has also grown significantly in recent years, in consonance with India’s policy of ‘Neighbourhood First’ and the Hon’ble PM’s vision of ‘Security and Growth for all in the Region' (SAGAR)’.

  • Both Indian Naval ships will be kept open for visitors including schoolchildren during the harbour phase. A Coordinated Indian Navy-Sri Lanka Navy Band Performance in collaboration with Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre will also be organised. The Sea Phase would include exercises in multi-dimensions like surface and anti-air firing exercises, seamanship evaluations, helicopter and maritime patrol aircraft operations, advance tactical manoeuvres, search and rescue and Special Forces operations at sea.
