The vessels visiting the Port of Colombo are Landing Ship Tanker (Large) Magar & Shardul and Offshore Patrol Vessel INS Sujata, Sail Training Ships Sudarshini & Tarangini along with Indian Coast Guard Ship Vikram are visiting Trincomalee.

A total of 75 officers, 153 officer cadets, 10  NCC cadets and 530  sailors form part of the visit.

Meanwhile Admiral Chawla would be calling on the senior leadership in Sri Lanka and visiting Colombo, Trincomalee and Galle. During the visit interaction with key Area Headquarters is planned in addition to a visit to the Naval and Maritime Academy at Trincomalee. Discussions on areas of common maritime interests and training would be held since Vice Admiral Chawla is also heading the training Command of the Indian Navy.

The First Training Squadron which comprises six ships including two sail ships is a part of Indian Navy’s prestigious Southern Naval Command (SNC). Ships from the First Training Squadron had last visited Sri Lanka in 2015. SNC is the Training Command of the Indian Navy which conducts the entire range of naval training for officers and sailors, including those from friendly foreign countries.

As one of the finest destinations for training, Indian Navy has trained more than 11,000 international trainees from over 40 countries in the last four decades.

Training has been one of the strongest and most enduring pillars of India – Sri Lanka bilateral defense cooperation and the current visit will provide further impetus to the same. In line with the vision of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and H.E. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to increase people to people connect between both countries, this visit will positively contribute towards strengthening the existing bonds of camaraderie and friendship between defense personnel of the two countries.

Vice Adm. Anil Kumar Chawla

Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla, took over the reins of the Southern Naval Command (SNC) as its 28th Flag Officer Commanding- in-Chief on July 31, 2018. The Admiral replaced Vice Admiral A.R.

The Flag Officer, a native of Dehradun, had arrived in Kochi on July 30, 2018.

An alumnus of the National Defense Academy, Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla was commissioned in the Indian Navy on January 1, 1982. A Navigation and Direction specialist, Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla commanded Coast Guard Ship C-01, the Vinash a missile boat, the missile corvette Kora, Stealth frigate Tabar and the aircraft carrier Viraat. His ashore and staff appointments include stints at the prestigious National Defense Academy, Centre for Leadership and Behavioural Studies Naval Attaché Jakarta, Senior Instructor (Navy) and HOTT (Navy) at the Defense Services Staff College and Naval Assistant to Chief of Naval Staff.

As a Flag Officer, Vice Admiral A.K. Chawla has held critical staff appointments as the Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Foreign Cooperation & Intelligence) and the Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Policy and Plans) at Naval Headquarters. He commanded the Western Fleet from August 16, 2013 to October 1, 2014. On promotion to the rank of Vice Admiral he took over as the Director General Naval Operations on December 31, 2014.
