Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, concluded a significant five-day visit to the United States, aimed at reinforcing Indo-Pacific maritime security cooperation and advancing India–US naval partnership.
His meetings with senior American military leadership underscored the strategic depth and multidimensional character of this evolving relationship.
During his visit, Admiral Tripathi held talks with Admiral Samuel J Paparo, Commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command; Admiral Stephen T Koehler, Chief of the US Pacific Fleet; and Lieutenant General James F Glynn, Commander of the US Marine Forces Pacific. Discussions centred on operational coordination, maritime security, and enhanced interoperability between the two navies, building on shared strategic objectives in the region.
Both sides devoted considerable attention to improving information-sharing and maritime domain awareness. A key element of these deliberations involved linking the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness initiative more closely with India’s Information Fusion Centre for the Indian Ocean Region.
