Naseem Al Bahr is a bilateral maritime exercise between India and which country?
- A.Qatar
- B.Oman
- C.Egypt
- D.Myanmar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Oman. Naseem Al Bahr, which translates as Sea Breeze, is the bilateral maritime exercise between the Indian Navy and the Royal Navy of Oman, and the edition just completed is the fifteenth. The exercise is aimed at raising interoperability, strengthening professional cooperation and building mutual understanding between the two navies. Options A and C are wrong because neither Qatar nor Egypt is a participant in this exercise. Option D is wrong because India's bilateral naval exercise with Myanmar carries a different name altogether and is held on the Indian east coast. Candidates should also fix the ships in mind: Indian Naval Ship Surat and the Royal Navy of Oman vessel Al-Mu'azzar worked together in the sea phase, carrying out joint Visit, Board, Search and Seizure drills and cross-deck operations.
