Explanation

SIMBEX stands for the Singapore-India Maritime Bilateral Exercise, an annual naval drill conducted between the Indian Navy and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) [1]. Initiated in 1994 as 'Exercise Lion King', it has evolved from basic anti-submarine warfare training into a complex, high-stakes maritime collaboration [3]. It holds the distinction of being the longest continuous bilateral naval exercise India has with any other country [4]. The exercise typically involves two phases: a shore phase for professional exchanges and simulator training, and a sea phase involving advanced warfare serials like gunnery firing and air defense drills [6]. SIMBEX serves as a critical pillar of India's 'Act East' policy, enhancing interoperability and maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region [3]. The 31st edition was held in 2024 at Visakhapatnam, while the 32nd edition is scheduled for 2025 in Singapore [2].
