On the occasion of Army Day, warm greetings were extended to the Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADGPI), Indian Army, acknowledging the dedication, professionalism, and sacrifice of Indian Army personnel in safeguarding the nation.
The day also served as an opportunity to recall Exercise SHAKTI 2025, a joint military exercise hosted by France, aimed at enhancing joint operational preparedness in sub-conventional and complex combat environments. The exercise focused on sharing best practices, improving interoperability, and strengthening coordination between the two armies during challenging operational scenarios.
Exercise SHAKTI 2025 underscored the growing depth of defence cooperation between India and France, reinforcing mutual trust, operational understanding, and respect between the forces. Such engagements continue to play a vital role in advancing the India–France strategic partnership, contributing to regional and global security through sustained military collaboration.
