出席仪式的有来自中国、巴基斯坦海军和政府部门的高级官员和政要。

观察者网此前报道,美国《防务新闻》周刊网站去年12月28日报道,巴基斯坦海军发言人首次对媒体公开确认,已在去年6月与中国签署购买1艘054A型护卫舰,并计划再增购2艘。

当时报道称,首舰将使用与中国海军相同的传感器和武器系统,两艘后续舰尚在谈判中。

本世纪以来,中巴两国军事领域互动频繁。

巴基斯坦海军的F22P护卫舰

早在2005年4月,中巴两国正式签署了建造4艘F-22P型护卫舰的合同,前三艘由上海沪东造船厂建造,最后一艘由卡拉奇造船及机械制造有限公司兴建。

2007年,巴基斯坦又签署了追加4艘F-22P改进型导弹护卫舰的合同。

巴基斯坦《黎明报》当时称,巴基斯坦将建造更多的同类战舰,也可能结合中国054A型护卫舰的特点研制更先进的舰艇。

随后,在2015年,中巴两国签署了一份价值数十亿美元的协议,中国将帮助巴基斯坦海军建造8艘常规动力潜艇。这是中巴两国有史以来金额最大的军事合作协议。

值得一提的是,就在今年4月19日,中船重工党组书记、董事长胡问鸣会见了来访的巴基斯坦海军参谋长阿巴西上将一行。

双方回顾了多年来合作的历程和成果,就未来进一步扩大合作,深化互利共赢进行了深入交流。

他表示,中巴友谊源远流长,中船重工与巴基斯坦海军拥有长期友好的合作基础,双方在海军装备、船厂升级改造、人员培训、技术转让等相关领域开展了全方位合作,取得了丰硕的成果。中船重工高度重视双方合作,荟萃顶尖人才,集中优势力量,为合作的顺利推进保驾护航。

中船重工将坚决贯彻中巴两国元首的战略意图,精心组织,精益求精,确保优质高效圆满完成。同时,希望继续拓展与巴海军在多个领域多个层次的精诚合作,开启双方开放合作、共赢发展新篇章。

阿巴西对中船重工长期以来为巴海军发展提供的大力支持表示感谢。

他表示,中国与巴基斯坦有着久经考验的历史关系,中船重工在海军装备研制方面拥有非常雄厚的实力,巴海军与中船重工的合作将进一步巩固中巴全天候战略合作伙伴关系,对提升两国军事装备合作水平,建设中巴经济走廊,维护地区安全稳定具有重要意义。

巴基斯坦海军希望进一步加强与中船重工的合作,扩大合作范围,深化互利共赢。

The Pakistani navy said that based on this contract, by 2021, the Pakistani Navy will have a total of four 054A frigate vessels. This will greatly enhance the operational capabilities of the Pakistani navy and at the same time it will also help maintain regional maritime security.

On January 12, the naming ceremony of the navy 054A guided missile frigate was held at a military port in Lushun, Dalian.

Senior officials and dignitaries from the Chinese and Pakistani naval and government departments attended the ceremony.

Observer Network reported earlier that the US “Defense News” weekly website reported on December 28 last year that a Pakistani naval spokesman had publicly confirmed to the media for the first time that he had signed a purchase of a Type 054A frigate with China in June last year and planned to purchase additional ones. 2 ships.

At that time, it was reported that the first ship will use the same sensor and weapon system as the Chinese Navy. Two subsequent ships are still in negotiations.

Since the beginning of this century, China and Pakistan have frequently interacted in the military field.



Pakistan Navy F22P Frigate

As early as April 2005, China and Pakistan officially signed a contract for the construction of four F-22P frigate ships. The first three ships were built by Shanghai Hudong Shipyard and the last one was built by Karachi Shipbuilding and Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

In 2007, Pakistan signed another contract to add four F-22P modified missile frigates.

Pakistan’s “Dawn Journal” stated at that time that Pakistan would build more similar warships, and it might also combine the characteristics of the Chinese 054A frigates to develop more advanced ships.

Subsequently, in 2015, China and Pakistan signed a multi-billion-dollar agreement, and China will help Pakistan’s navy build eight conventionally-powered submarines. This is the largest amount of military cooperation agreement between China and Pakistan ever since.

It is worth mentioning that on April 19 this year, Hu Zhongming, Secretary of the China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group and Chairman of the Party, met with the visiting Pakistani navy chief of staff, General Abas.

The two sides reviewed the course and achievements of years of cooperation and conducted in-depth exchanges in the future to further expand cooperation and deepen mutual benefit.



Hu Wenming welcomed the arrival of the Arab-Israeli delegation and expressed his gratitude to the Pakistani navy for its long-term trust and support for the CSSC.

He said that Sino-Pakistani friendship has a long history. China Shipbuilding Industry and the Pakistan Navy have a long-term and friendly cooperation basis. The two sides have carried out all-round cooperation in related fields such as naval equipment, shipyard upgrades, personnel training, and technology transfer, and achieved fruitful results. CSSC attaches great importance to the cooperation between the two sides, bringing together top talents and concentrating superior strengths to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation.

CSSC will firmly implement the strategic intentions of the heads of state of China and Pakistan, carefully organize and strive for excellence to ensure the successful completion of quality and efficiency. At the same time, he hopes to continue to expand the sincere cooperation with the Pakistani navy at multiple levels in various fields and open up a new chapter in open cooperation and win-win development between the two sides.



Abraham expressed his thanks to China Shipbuilding for its long-term support for the development of the Pakistan Navy.

He said that China and Pakistan have a proven historical relationship. CSSC has a very strong strength in the development of naval equipment. The cooperation between the Pakistan Navy and CSSC will further consolidate the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership between China and Pakistan and enhance the two. The level of national military equipment cooperation, the establishment of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and the maintenance of regional security and stability are of great significance.

The Pakistan Navy hopes to further strengthen cooperation with CSIC, expand the scope of cooperation, and deepen mutual benefit and win-win results.

The Republic of Singapore navy formidable class is stronger in anti-air system with its aster15/30 missile but VLS of Type 054A is multi tasking capable of handling ASROC. Formidable class VLS is not flexible.

It's a perfect timing to induct four type 54 before the assembly line close down, it can save a big chunk of money.
Is it more expensive to purchase newer types? Why would Pakistan go for a ship that PLAN has moved on from?

Right now Type 54A is still under construction, it still be the backbone of PLaN within the next 20 years.

We don't see a single type 54B(some said its type 57)rolling out until yet.

@rcrmj Bro, can you shed some lights on Type 54B development?
