INS Tushil, on her maiden passage around the West coast of Africa, arrived at Port Victoria, Seychelles, on 7th of February 2025 for an operational turnaround.

A small contingent of officials from the High Commission of India and officials from the Indian Navy detachment warmly welcomed the ship.

India’s bilateral engagement with Seychelles is characterised by historical contacts and embodies close friendship, understanding, and cooperation.

Diplomatic ties were established with Seychelles after its independence in 1976. When Seychelles attained freedom on 29 June 1976, a contingent from INS Nilgiri participated in the Independence Day celebrations.

This visit by INS Tushil seeks to advance the strong relationship between the two Indian Ocean Region(IOR) nations.
