BEIJING, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese navy will participate in a ten-day multinational naval exercise in the seas off Pakistan in March, a Ministry of National Defense official said Thursday.

A task force, composed of the destroyer Guangzhou, a helicopter and 10 members of the marine corps will take part in the "Peace-09" exercise, said ministry spokesman Huang Xueping.

The drill, slated for March 5 in the port city of Karachi, was initiated by the Pakistan navy and will be attended by 11 countries.

It includes search-and-rescue exercises, anti-piracy operations and fleet formation defenses.

The purpose for attending the operation is to allow the Chinese navy to gain useful experience from foreign counterparts, strengthen its communication capacity, learn how to cooperate with foreign navies in handling new threats and challenges at sea and maintaining regional peace and stability, Huang said.

The Chinese navy, together with task forces from France, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, attended a Pakistan navy-initiated joint military exercise in March 2007.

This is very good news. This should help bolster China-Pakistan ties and more advanced weapons will be shipped to Pakistan. More stuff like this needs to happen. Go Pakistan

I can assure you that they will be.

For the thread op (and others), don't just focus on China... that's awfully silly and counter productive to the mission brief.

Be counted among friends.

Hi! This is my first post on this forum. Just wanted to know what would be the composition of Pakistani contingent?

I think most of PN's fleet including aviation and subs will take part in the exercise as Pakistan is the host of this event.

what type of frigates PN will use

Surely, the Type-21s will be used.

First Exercise of AMAN series was held in March 2007 which was a big success. During AMAN-07, 14 Ships of Bangladesh, China, France, Italy, Malaysia, UK and USA Navies participated. Besides, SOF/EOD teams from Bangladesh and Turkey also participated in SOF Exercises and 21 countries attended the Exercise as observer and will be held every two years in Pakistan.

Two images from AMAN 07

I think it is safe to say that AMAN 09 will be bigger than 07.
