Improving the navy is of vital importance, but in Pakistan's case, don't expect too much of an emphasis on surface ships. As it stands the PN will probably focus on strengthening its submarine and aviation forces with S20 SSKs and MPAs, respectively. The next phase, if possible, could be a push to acquire 6-8 new 3500-4000 ton multi-mission frigates capable of area wide air defence via a medium range surface to air missile system (e.g. Aster-15, HHQ-17, etc).
Besides the above we could reasonably expect efforts towards a few corvettes and fast attack missile boats.
