Pakistan Naval travel to Colombo for ‘goodwill’ visit

Author: PPI

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Naval Ships, NASR and SAIF, will arrive at Colombo Port for a four-day goodwill visit on March 12, 2017.

The port call is a part of the strong traditional, professional and brotherly relationship between the Navies of Sri Lanka and Pakistan, says a press release on Friday from Colombo.

Pakistan Navy Ship SAIF is a SWORD class F22P Frigates of Chinese origin. It is equipped with state of the art weapons, sensors and machinery, making it capable of undertaking a variety of maritime operations, while PNS NASR is a leading unit of Pakistani Navy Fleet’s 9th Auxiliary and Mine Warfare Squadron.

Both the ships have taken part in a large number of the multinational exercises and PNS NASR has also extensively participated in tsunami relief operations in 2004.

A number of professional training activities are planned between the two navies during the visit, including a reception on PNS NASR on 13th March 2017.
