Final Planning Conference of MILAN 2020 Held at Visakhapatnam

The Final Planning Conference (FPC) for the forthcoming multilateral naval exercise MILAN 2020 was conducted at Visakhapatnam from 20 to 22 January 2020. 33 delegates from 15 friendly foreign Navies attended the FPC. Delivering the Opening Address, Commodore Sanjiv Issar, Commodore MILAN briefed the participants on the broad programme of MILAN 2020 scheduled to be conducted Visakhapatnam in March 2020. The scope of exercises planned during the harbour and sea phases of MILAN 2020 was discussed in detail with the delegates of the participating countries.

MILAN 2020 is aimed to enhance professional interaction between friendly foreign navies and learn from each other’s strength and best practices in the maritime domain. The event would also provide an excellent opportunity to Operational Commanders of friendly foreign Navies to interact with each other in areas of mutual interest and consequently, the MILAN theme ‘Synergy Across the Seas’ has been very aptly chosen.
