ISLAMABAD - In a manifestation of the strong political, diplomatic, economic, cultural, and defence ties between the two friendly countries, Pakistan naval ship Shamsheer will reach Sri Lanka on a four-day goodwill visit from November 30 to December 3.

It served the Pakistan Navy as an anti-submarine frigate as well as training ship for cadets and sailors till 1960. The second ship was a Leander class ASW Frigates (F-263) acquired from the British Royal Navy in July 1988 and served the Pakistan Navy till July 2002.


The present naval ship was launched on October 31, 2008 and was commissioned in the Pakistan Navy on December 19, 2009. The ship sailed for her maiden passage for the homeland on December 25, 2009. During their stay at Colombo, the officers and men of the Pakistan Navy would also take part in various professional activities with the Sri Lanka Navy.
