New Delhi, Nov 17 (IANS): An Indian naval ship Monday made a port call at Nacala in Mozambique as part of a goodwill visit.
The visit of INS Teg, a stealth frigate of the Indian Navy, was aimed at strengthening the existing bonds of friendship between the two nations, an official release said here.
During the vessel's stay at the harbour, various activities are planned, including official calls and a reception on board the ship.
