The exercise will take place over six days and will be divided into two phases: a Harbour Phase in Visakhapatnam that will include professional, sports, and social interactions, and a Sea Phase in which the two navies will hone their warfighting skills at sea and enhance their interoperability through complex multi-discipline operations in the surface, sub-surface, and air domains.

JIMEX 23, which has expanded in breadth and complexity over the years, gives an opportunity for IN and JMSDF to learn from each other’s best practices and facilitate operational encounters in order to foster mutual cooperation and reaffirm their shared commitment to maritime security in the region.
