NEW DELHI (PTI): India and Oman will hold a joint naval exercise in the Arabian sea this week, focusing on greater interoperability to counter maritime security challenges.

The 10th edition of the exercise 'Naseem Al-Bahr' will take place from January 22 to January 27.

It began first in 1993 and aims to increase interoperability among the two navies and develop common understanding and procedures for maritime security operation.

An Indian Navy ship had last year visited Oman in a goodwill visit as part of India's strategy to develop relation with the countries in the region.
