In recent years, the JMSDF has conducted bilateral/multilateral exercises with the Indian Navy at a high frequency, and the interoperability between the Japanese and Indian naval forces has been steadily improving."

The Self Defense Fleet maintains readiness and contributes to the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region, not only for the defense of Japan but also for the realization of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” in cooperation with allied and like-minded navies including the Indian Navy.
