The Indian Navy’s frontline stealth frigate, INS Tabar, under the command of Captain MR Harish, has arrived at Esbjerg, Denmark, marking the beginning of a significant two-day visit. The visit aims to strengthen robust ties between the two nations and their naval forces.
During its stay in Esbjerg harbour, the crew of INS Tabar is scheduled to participate in a series of bilateral professional interactions with the Danish Armed Forces. These interactions are intended to promote greater cooperation and understanding between the two navies. Along with the professional engagements, cultural exchanges are also planned, highlighting the depth of the relationship between India and Denmark., according to Indian Navy’s statement.
The diplomatic ties between India and Denmark are based on a shared history of democratic traditions and a mutual commitment to regional and international peace and stability. These relations were further strengthened when they were elevated to a “Green Strategic Partnership” level during a Virtual Summit held on 28 September 2020 between India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
INS Tabar, one of the earliest stealth frigates in the Indian Navy, is equipped with a versatile array of weapons and sensors, underscoring the ship’s critical role in India’s maritime security. The frigate is part of the Western Fleet, which operates under the Western Naval Command, which is based in Mumbai.
This visit to Denmark continues the Indian Navy’s commitment to building and maintaining strong partnerships with navies around the world, furthering India’s strategic interests, and contributing to global maritime security.
