While these engagements are important, I hope we're also focusing on improving naval infrastructure and welfare of our sailors. Sometimes we celebrate international partnerships but neglect domestic requirements.

Tanzania has been a traditional friend of India. Good to see naval cooperation strengthening this relationship. The Indian Ocean is our backyard and such partnerships ensure regional stability. Jai Hind!
