The 10th joint-military exercise called 'LAMITYE', meaning friendship in the Creole language, between the Indian Army and the Seychelles Defence Forces started in the island nation on Monday and will end on March 27.
The 'LAMITYE' exercise aims to achieve cohesion, jointness, and interoperability between both the defence forces during peacekeeping operations while also strengthening bilateral military relations. Both sides will also jointly train, plan and execute a series of well-developed tactical drills for neutralisation of likely threats that may be encountered in a semi-urban environment while exploiting and showcasing new-generation equipment and technology.
Seychelles hosts several military exercises with international partners regularly, such as the Cutlass Express, a United States-led multinational military exercise that takes place in Seychelles.
