The President of India Droupadi Murmu witnessed the International Fleet Review at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, today. Navals of more than 70 countries are participating in the International Fleet Review, 2026.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that the International Fleet Review reflects unity, trust and respect among nations for maritime traditions. Ships with different flags and sailors from different countries exhibit the spirit of togetherness.
She highlighted that this spirit of togetherness is well captured in the theme of this review: United Through Oceans. It is a positive message to the global community that commitment and resolve of this collective naval strength can overcome all challenges.
The President said that India’s approach to international relations including the maritime domain is guided by our ethos of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘the world is one family’. This approach reflects the wisdom that global security and growth, sustainability and stability are built through partnerships. This spirit of partnership is the bedrock of an enduring global order. Therefore, India believes that a sound maritime order is based on collective responsibility and cooperative action among like-minded partners.
She stated that this Fleet Review also takes forward India’s vision of MAHASAGAR which stands for Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.
