Pakistan Navy Ship ASLAT visited Tunis, Tunisia as part of ongoing Overseas Deployment to Mediterranean and European Countries. The port call was aimed at enhancing brotherly ties between the two countries. PN ship’s visit to Tunisic after a gap of 13 years would certainly serve a great deal in paving the way forward to re-invigorate the relations between Pakistan Navy & Tunisian Navy.
Upon arrival at Port, PNS ASLAT was warmly welcomed and received by Manager of Port La Goulette alongwith Defence Attaché of Pakistan and 2nd Secretary Embassy of Pakistan at Tunis.
