The annually held '''Varuna naval exercise''' is an integral part of [[France–India relations|France–India strategic relationship]] in the 21st century and consists of naval cooperation drills between the [[French Navy]] and the [[Indian Navy]]. The joint-exercises are held either in the [[Indian Ocean]] or [[Mediterranean Sea]] with the aim of improving Indo-French coordination on capabilities like cross-deck operations, replenishment-at-sea, [[Minesweeper (ship)|minesweeping]], [[anti-submarine warfare]] and information sharing. It was first started in 1983, though given its present name in 2001. France is ''Littoral State'' of the Indian Ocean through the French [[Overseas region]] of [[Réunion]], [[Mayotte]] and [[Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean]]. | The annually held '''Varuna naval exercise''' is an integral part of [[France–India relations|France–India strategic relationship]] in the 21st century and consists of naval cooperation drills between the [[French Navy]] and the [[Indian Navy]].
