KARACHI: During the 109th pass-out-parade of Pakistan Navy Midshipmen on Saturday, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi stated that Pakistan’s desire for peace should not be mistaken for its weakness.

“Pakistan Navy is ready to provide security to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CEPC) and Gwadar seaport,” the Naval Chief stated.
As many as 43 officers from Pakistan’s close ally states including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar were included in the pass-outs.
