ISLAMABAD - Commander US Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), Vice Admiral Kevin M Donegan on Tuesday highly appreciated the professionalism of Pakistan Navy personnel and active role being played by Pakistan Navy for maritime security and stability in the region.

According to Pakistan Navy spokesperson, the Commander US NAVCENT stated this during meeting with Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah during his visit to NAVCENT Headquarters in Bahrain.

Commander US NAVCENT said that the near permanent presence of Pakistan Navy units in the Area of Responsibility (AOR) has greatly helped shaping a secure environment for freedom of navigation in the region.

Still there lies threat from Indian and Somali pirates , and therefore we must strengthen the navy with Ship acquisition
The new stealth fast attack ships are certainly helping bridge some gaps but certainly once we get few more corvettes and frigates things will be a lot more secure.

It is well known fact that pirates / gangs roam south coastline of Yamen

Always a menance to Shipping cargo ships

Do Pakistan actually control shipping lanes?

I thought it was only India and USA who did it in the Indian Ocean.
