Two ships from Indian Coast Guard arrive at Chittagong today on a four-day visit as part of the ongoing bilateral maritime exchanges between the two Coast Guards, reports UNB. The ships, ‘Vishwast’ and ‘Anmol’, are on a goodwill tour of Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. This visit comes immediately after the recent maritime search and rescue operation undertaken by both countries in the Bay of Bengal and it will further strengthen the friendship and bonhomie that has historically existed between the two forces, said the Indian side. On account of inclement weather and rough seas, fishing boats from both sides had accidentally drifted into each other’s waters and some boats had capsized. Ships and maritime patrol aircraft from both Coast Guards and Bangladesh Navy were deployed on either side of maritime boundary for this operation.
