The visit is expected to contribute to strengthening the traditional friendship and the Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and India, particularly defence cooperation, while maintaining exchanges and interactions between the two navies.

During their stay, the 610 officers and sailors aboard are scheduled to pay courtesy calls on leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Naval Region 2 Command, lay flowers at the President Ho Chi Minh Statue, and visit a number of cultural and historical sites in the city.
