Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, has proceeded on an official visit to the United States from November 12 to 17, 2025, with the aim of strengthening the long-standing and robust maritime partnership between the Indian Navy and the United States Navy, which forms a vital component of the India–US Defence Partnership.
During the visit, the Chief of the Naval Staff is scheduled to hold discussions with senior officials of the U.S. Department of War and will also meet Admiral Samuel J. Paparo, Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), and Admiral Stephen T. Koehler, Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet (USPACFLT). These high-level engagements will provide an opportunity to review ongoing maritime cooperation, enhance operational linkages, and further develop mechanisms for information sharing and maritime domain awareness between the two navies.
Admiral Tripathi’s itinerary includes interactions with leading naval institutions and operational commands of the U.S. Navy. The discussions will focus on shared maritime priorities in the Indo-Pacific region and collaboration through multilateral platforms such as MILAN and the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) initiatives.
India and the United States share a long-standing maritime partnership built on mutual trust, shared democratic values, and a commitment to maintaining stability and security in the Indo-Pacific. The visit by the Chief of the Naval Staff reaffirms the Indian Navy’s dedication to strengthening cooperation with the U.S. Navy and advancing the shared vision of a free, open, inclusive, and rules-based Indo-Pacific.
