The Royal Canadian Navy is collaborating with many partner nations to promote peace and security in the region, a senior official told reporters on board the ship.

During the current visit, the Royal Canadian Navy personnel will interact and work with their Indian Navy counterparts.
The Commander, Royal Canadian Navy, Vice Admiral Paul Maddison, is slated to visit the ship in Mumbai.
