New Delhi [India], December 4 (ANI): The French Embassy in India extended warm wishes on the occasion of Navy Day 2025.
In a post on X, the French Embassy wrote, “Congratulations @IndianNavy on #NavyDay2025. The France-India naval cooperation is strengthened through boosting India’s strategic autonomy with Rafale Marines, our Maritime Cooperation Dialogue, regular joint exercises & patrols, together upholding a free, open & secure #IndoPacific.”
The Indian Navy will celebrate Navy Day 2025 with an Operational Demonstration on December 4 at Shangumugham, Thiruvananthapuram, a press release said. Hosting the event away from major naval stations continues the Navy’s effort to bring the demonstration to different parts of the country; previous locations included Puri in Odisha and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra.
The mega event will offer citizens a chance to witness the Indian Navy’s multi-domain operations and state-of-the-art platforms, showcasing its role as the “Preferred Security Partner” in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) under the MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) vision. The Operational Demonstration will feature coordinated manoeuvres by frontline platforms, illustrating the Navy’s ability to deliver power and precision across the maritime spectrum through seamless coordination of surface, sub-surface, and aerial assets.
Reflecting Aatmanirbhar Bharat and the ‘Make in India’ vision, the demonstration will include indigenously built platforms, highlighting growing self-reliance in defence manufacturing. The celebration will also underscore the Navy’s preparedness and deterrent capability as displayed during Operation Sindoor, reaffirming its capacity for precision, speed, and dominance. The demonstration pays tribute to the professionalism, discipline, and courage of the men and women of the Indian Navy who safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and maritime interests.
Navy Day also commemorates the Navy’s decisive role in the 1971 Indo-Pak War, notably the missile boat attack on Karachi harbour during Operation Trident. (ANI)
