German naval frigate FGS Bayern (F217) docked in Mumbai on Friday even as the European country's Ambassador to India said the Indo-Pacific region was of utmost importance and emphasised on free maritime routes.
The warship, whose arrival here indicates strong defence ties between the two nations, was welcomed by an Indian Navy band at a ceremony.
