Indian Naval Ship Kadmatt, an indigenously designed and built Anti-Submarine Warfare Corvette, arrived in Suva, Fiji on Monday the 15th of September 20255, for a goodwill visit as part of her three-month deployment.

The port call reflects the deep-rooted historical, cultural and people-to-people ties between India and Fiji, while reaffirming India’s commitment to strengthen maritime cooperation and bilateral relations with friendly foreign countries.

During the visit, INS Kadmatt will host senior officials from the Republic of Fiji Navy to foster professional exchanges to explore avenues of mutual interest. The ship’s crew will also participate in a range of community outreach programmes, sporting events and cultural exchanges, further strengthening the bonds of friendship and goodwill between the two nations.

The visit highlights India’s vision of ‘MAHASAGAR’ (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Region) and underscores the Indian Navy’s role as a preferred secured partner in the Indian Ocean Region.
