Pakistan Navy Ships are regularly deployed under Regional Maritime Security Patrol (RMSP) to fulfil the international obligation for maritime security, ensure freedom of navigation in high seas and safe guard global commons. Its participation in Exercise Komodo-25 underscores Pakistan Navy’s commitment to international maritime collaboration. Prior to the exercise, PNS Aslat also visited Colombo, Sri Lanka.
During the port call, the Commanding Officer of PNS Aslat met Commander Western Naval Area and Director General Operations at Sri Lanka Navy Headquarters and discussed matters of mutual interest, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening bilateral relation in all spheres.
