Doesn't make sense......
No it does not. Is PN paying for free advertisement to the Pakistan Railways? And what is the point of this ad campaign?? It shows wastage of precious funds and corruption in the Navy (already plenty exists there in Pakistan anyways). But what I find most wrong is how the military is seeping into the common spaces of Pakistan. While I love our armed forces, some of their behaviors are not excusable and certainly it feels like their attitude is shifting towards acting like they are the only entity in Pakistan that matters or has a say in any thing. It is leading them to co-opt what is out of their mandate and that should trouble every Pakistani.

The multinational maritime exercise AMAN-2019, hosted by the Pakistan Navy (PN), will commence from February 8, Radio Pakistan reported on Thursday.

Commander Pakistan Fleet Vice Admiral Amjad Niazi, while addressing the media, said the exercise is spread over two phases and contingents from 46 countries will participate in this year’s drill.

The exercise was first held in 2007. The drills, aimed at conveying a message of peace to the world, are organised bi-annually.

Niazi added that an international maritime conference shall also be held on the occasion.

In January, two Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force P3C aircraft of Deployed Maritime Force for Anti-Piracy Enforcement (DAPE) visited the PNS Mehran in Karachi for pre-AMAN-19 exercise activity.

The Japanese aircrew participated in various events including search and rescue (SAR) and counter-piracy (CP) exercises along with navy aircrew. The Japanese contingent also visited maritime and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) museums to learn about the historic achievements of the two forces.

The five-day multinational naval exercise Aman-2019, in which 46 nations are taking part, kicked off in Karachi on Friday.

As the ceremony began, the flags of all participating nations were hoisted, and contingents of the Pakistan Navy presented a march-past.

The principal purpose of the exercise, conducted after every two years since it was initiated in 2007, is to provide a forum for understanding of each other’s maritime concepts and operational cultures and come up with ways and means to combat common threats at sea.

The Pakistan Navy's ships, submarines, boats, marines and special forces will all take part in the exercise, along with the Pakistan Air Force, Pakistan Army and Pakistan Rangers.

Commander Pakistan Fleet Vice Admiral Amjad Khan Niazi was the chief guest at the opening ceremony, Radio Pakistanreported. Ambassadors and delegates of various countries were also present at the inauguration ceremony.

The exercise will be conducted in two phases. The harbour phase from Friday to Sunday will be followed by a sea phase on Feb 11 and 12.

Harbour activities will include seminars, discussions and demonstrations along with a three-day international maritime conference on 'Global geopolitics in transition: rethinking maritime dynamics in the Indian Ocean region'.

'Aman-19 allows navies to benefit from each other'
Addressing the ceremony, Vice Admiral Niazi said that the Aman-19 exercise seeks to enhance cooperation between countries and allows them to take benefit from mutual advantages and understand each other.

He said that maritime security is pivotal for national security and protection of maritime routes is also necessary for the economy.

At a media briefing on Thursday, Vice Admiral Niazi had said that maritime security should be quintessentially cooperative instead of being competitive.

He had said that the exercise also provided participating countries the chance to foster friendships, which could lead them to develop and practice common tactics, procedures and mechanics to deal with the maritime threats that affected them all: "Overall, the Aman Exercise is about bridging gaps and making it possible to operate together in pursuance of shared objectives."

He said Aman-2019 was mostly a non-firing exercise as live weapon firing was only carried out in a marked area known to all ships. "But Aman-2019 will reinforce the confidence of [other] countries in Pakistan and the Pakistan Navy. So the message goes out as relations, especially diplomatic relations, between countries are improved."
