The Indian Navy ship INS Sunayna arrived at Chattogram Port on Friday for a three-day goodwill visit to Bangladesh. Upon arrival, the ship’s commanding officer, officers, and sailors were welcomed by the Chief Staff Officer of the Commander Chattogram Naval Area. A ceremonial band performance by the Bangladesh Navy marked the occasion, attended by senior naval officials and representatives from the Indian High Commission in Bangladesh. Earlier, the Bangladesh Navy ship Ali Haider greeted the visiting vessel upon its entry into Bangladeshi waters.

During its stay, the ship’s commanding officer and a delegation including the Indian High Commission’s Naval Adviser will pay courtesy calls on the Commander Chattogram Naval Area, Commander BN Fleet, Area Superintendent Dockyard, and the Chairman of the Chattogram Port Authority. The crew will also visit Bangladesh Navy training bases, ships, and notable historical and tourist sites in Chattogram.

The visit aims to promote professional exchanges between the two navies and strengthen existing bilateral relations. The Indian Navy ship is scheduled to depart Bangladeshi waters on May 10.
