Vice Admiral Dato’ Syed Zahiruddin Putra Bin Syed Osman, Commander of the Eastern Fleet, Royal Malaysian Navy, visited the Southern Naval Command (SNC).

Vice Admiral Dato’ Syed, who is accompanied by his wife Mariam Suri Binti Ahmadis, reached Kochi on November 3. An official release issued here said that the Admiral visited the Southern Naval Command as part of consolidating the existing strong bilateral naval relations between the two countries. Rear Admiral R.J. Nadkarni, Chief of Staff, Southern Naval Command, interacted with him on naval cooperation, especially training cooperation, between India and Malaysia.

The Admiral was shown around the Watermanship Survival Training Facility and INS Dronacharya, the Gunnery Training establishment which was of particular interest to him as he had himself undergone the gunnery specialisation training at INS Dronacharya in 1983. He also met four Malaysian Naval officers, who are undergoing specialisation courses with the Indian Navy in Kochi.
