The Royal Moroccan Navy and the Indian Navy conducted an exercise off the port of Casablanca on 28 July 2022, with the aim of enhancing interoperability and supporting inter-coordination between the two countries.

These exercises lasted more than 7 hours and brought together the navy frigate “Hassan II” with the Indian naval frigate “INS Tarkash” of Russian construction.

The joint works aim to improve understanding of maritime security with friendly countries in the Mediterranean region.

This military training will support maritime relations between Morocco and India, in addition to a better understanding of the operating procedures of the two warships. The two countries were also able to understand the military capabilities of each of them during these joint exercises.

Before this joint maneuver with the Indian Navy, the last exercises of this kind had taken place just before the coronavirus pandemic in Tangier.
