Pakistan-China joint naval exercise next Week

BEIJING (China): Pakistan and China will hold second joint naval exercise next week in the Arabian sea close to Karachi coast.

A fleet of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy has already left towards the Arabian Sea via northern zone to join the Pakistan Navy.

Credible sources said here that the Chinese naval fleet comprised two ships, a missile destroyer and helicopters. It will be the first ever combined maritime drill by the Chinese navy in alien sea areas, likely to take place from November 21 to 24.

The two navies will focus on items in non-traditional areas, such as joint search-and-rescue operation. A large number of sailors and officers from both sides will take part in the exercise in the efforts to strengthen their decades old military-to-military relations and further enhance their professional skill.
