Why in News-The second edition of Exercise Bongosagar, bilateral naval exercise between India and Bangladesh, is scheduled to commence in Northern Bay of Bengal.

●Its first edition was held in 2019.

●Aim: To develop interoperability and joint operational skills through the conduct of a wide spectrum of maritime exercises and operations.

●Participants: Naval ships from both the countries along with the maritime patrol aircraft and helicopters will be participating in the exercise.
●It will be followed by the 3rd edition of India-Bangladesh Coordinated Patrol (IN-BN CORPAT), wherein both countries will undertake joint patrolling along the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL).

●CORPATs have strengthened understanding between both the navies and instituted measures to stop the conduct of unlawful activities.

Significance:
◆The exercise reflects the priority that Indian Navy accords to the Bangladesh Navy as part of the SAGAR (Security And Growth for All in the Region) Vision.
