QATAR, PAKISTAN STAGE NAVAL EXERCISE
ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Qatar and Pakistan plan a naval exercise as part of increasing military cooperation between the Islamic states.
Pakistan has sent four combat vessels to the emirate for training exercises. Officials said the PNS Larkana, PNS Shujaat, PNS Kalmat and the submarine, PNS Saad were scheduled to arrive on Wednesday and remain for three days.
"During the stay in Doha, the crew will participate in a number of activities and interact with the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces to enhance relations between the two countries," the Pakistan embassy said in a statement.
Pakistan has offered Qatar and other Gulf Cooperation Council states defense and military cooperation. Islamabad has held regular exercises with Saudi Arabia, regarded as the closest ally of Pakistan in the Gulf.
