Admiral Swift held bilateral discussions with Admiral RK Dhowan, Chief of the Naval Staff on Friday.
He also interacted with the Deputy Chief of Naval Staff and members of the Naval Maritime Foundation.
The Admiral had earlier visited India in 2012 and 2013 in various capacities.
The Indian and the US Navies cooperate with each other in terms of technical training, anti-piracy patrols, Navy to Navy staff talks, bilateral exercises such as MALABAR, as well as interact at various multilateral forums like RIMPAC.
Warships from both navies call at each other’s ports,which provides excellent opportunity for professional interaction and building ‘Bridges of Friendship’.
With the ongoing construction of Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC 1), carrier construction cooperation has emerged as one of the major areas for cooperation between the two navies.
