INDIAN NAVY CHIEF TO VISIT

THE new chief of staff of the Indian navy, Admiral Sushil Kumar, will visit South Africa for a week from Monday. Hiss visit follows one to India last October by South African Navy chief Vice-Admiral Robert Simpson-Anderson. “The visit serves to strengthen the ties of friendship and good co- operation between the South African and Indian navies,” the South African Navy said in a statement.
