Pakistan Naval Ship Alamgir will participate in Mavi Balina ‘16, a naval exercise, alongside the Turkish Navy, beginning on Saturday, and continuing till the 1st of next month.
Mavi Balina is evolving into a common forum for both Western and Eastern nations, to share, discuss and propose solutions for Collaborative Maritime Security which is at present one of the critical maritime challenges.
The Pakistan Navy ship‘s participation in the exercise will further strengthen existing bilateral relations of the two navies.
The Pakistan Navy is actively involved in maintaining peace and stability in the region – from the Gulf of Aden to the Gulf of Oman including the North Arabian Sea.
Pakistan Navy ships are vigorously participating in all peacekeeping missions and have commanded the Combined Task Force-150 (CTF-150) nine times.
Due to the Pakistan Navy’s proactive stance and operations, not a single terrorism-related incident has occurred in its area of operation.
The Pakistan Navy is also planning to organise the fifth multinational exercise AMAN-17 in February 2017 in the Turkish Navy which more than 30 navies including are expected to participate.
