The bilateral exercise Varuna, which began in 2001 is the backbone of India-France naval ties and has evolved significantly over the years towards enhancing interoperability and exchange of best practices, it said.

"The conduct of 22nd edition of Varuna in the Mediterranean Sea marks a significant milestone in the maritime domain between India and France displaying Indian Navy's outreach and commitment towards sustained operations far away from the Indian Ocean," the Navy said in a statement.

A series of advanced naval operations were conducted during the exercise, involving enhanced tactical manoeuvers, advanced anti-submarine warfare exercises, air defence drills and live weapon firings, the Navy said.

The Indian Navy, in collaboration with the Indian Air Force, recently conducted a maritime partnership exercise with the French Navy’s Carrier Strike Group (CSG) on the Western seaboard in the Arabian Sea region.

The exercise featured the Navy's indigenously built stealth guided-missile destroyer, INS Mormugao, alongside aircraft from the Air Force, showcasing the high level of coordination and operational synergy between India and France.

India has been France's foremost strategic partner since 1998, and the excellent Indo-French military cooperation is characterised by numerous bilateral exercises such as Shakti on land, Varuna at sea and Garuda in air.
