Indian
Coast Guard ship “Samudra Paheredar”, a specialised Pollution Control Vessel,
on Tuesday made a port call at Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam as part of its ongoing
overseas deployment to the ASEAN countries, according to the officials.
“The deployment of Samudra Paheredar in the
ASEAN region reflects India’s shared concern and resolve towards marine
pollution, promoting safety and security through maritime cooperation. Prior to
Ho Chi Minh, the vessel had visited Manila, Philippines, to demonstrate a
seamless continuation of diplomatic maritime engagements in the ASEAN region,”
it said.
The ship
is on overseas deployment to the ASEAN countries from March 25 to April 12.
