PN should have a base in Qatar, oman and Yemen.

No need to antogonise any country, Pak already has great location at Gwadar at entrance to Persian Gulf.

Intrestingly all senior officers and chief of Qatar Navy were trained by PN. It is a small force with only small patrol craft. I expect, like they did with their air force, Qatar will be looking at massive expansion here with maybe aid of Pak and Turkey.

How is that antagonistic? It's in our national interest to diversify our reach.
