INS Sunayna entered Port Victoria, Seychelles on 26 Jun 24 as part of her long-range deployment in the South West Indian Ocean Region.
The ship’s visit coincides with the celebration of the 48th National Day of Seychelles on 29 Jun 24.

During the port call, social interactions, engagements with the Seychelles Defence Force, special yoga sessions, ships open to visitors, and community outreach programs are scheduled. An aerial demonstration of an indigenously built Naval Advance Light Helicopter (ALH) is also planned during the port call. Deployment of INS Sunayna agrees with the vision of SAGAR promoting collaborative efforts to ensure maritime security in the IOR.
