During his visit to Brazil, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi met with Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen, Commander of the Brazilian Navy, to discuss enhancing cooperation between the two navies. Their discussions focused on operational engagements, training exchanges, hydrography, information sharing, maritime domain awareness, defence industry collaboration, technology development, innovation, and capacity building. The Indian Navy highlighted that this high-level meeting underscores the mutual commitment of both navies to strengthen strategic convergence and deepen the India-Brazil maritime partnership, contributing to stability in global maritime domains, especially in the Global South.

A significant outcome of the visit was the signing of a tripartite MoU between the Indian Navy, Brazilian Navy, and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited on exchanging information related to the maintenance of Scorpène-class submarines and other naval vessels. The agreement aims to enhance lifecycle support, share expertise in maintenance, logistics, and training, and strengthen defence R&D and technological collaboration between the two countries.

This visit follows recent exchanges, including a 40-member delegation from Brazil's Naval War College visiting India in November and a Brazilian defence delegation visiting the College of Defence Management. In July, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Brazil led to a strategic roadmap for deepening bilateral ties over the next decade, with defence and security as one of the five priority areas. The leaders also welcomed growing defence cooperation, including joint military exercises, high-level delegation exchanges, mutual protection of classified information, and the launch of a Bilateral Cybersecurity Dialogue.
