India Gifts Patrol Vessel to Strengthen Seychelles Ties

Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over the Made-in-India Fast Patrol Vessel (FPV) PS LESPWAR to Seychelles President Dr. Patrick Herminie, reaffirming the strong strategic partnership between the two nations.

The patrol vessel will enhance Seychelles' maritime surveillance and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) patrol capabilities, strengthening security across the Indian Ocean region.

As part of the special gesture, Prime Minister Modi also handed over six ambulances, 10 utility vehicles and five laser radial boats to support Seychelles' healthcare, mobility and maritime development.

The initiative reflects India's Vision MAHASAGAR and its commitment to deepening defence cooperation, maritime security and regional stability with Seychelles.
