The Pakistan Navy has stepped up its efforts to secure maritime trade routes by deploying warships in the Arabian Sea, reflecting its commitment to regional peace and the safety of international trade.
The Navy’s spokesperson highlighted the ongoing patrolling operations to safeguard Pakistan’s trade routes. This includes continuous aerial surveillance, ensuring the security of both Pakistani and international trade vessels. These efforts are part of a broader initiative to maintain a strong naval presence in the Arabian Sea, thereby fortifying maritime peace and stability in the region.
Emphasizing the Navy’s national responsibility, the spokesperson noted that the Pakistan Navy is vigilant in upholding maritime peace. The Navy’s proactive approach in this regard includes participation in international exercises like Barracuda-XII, held in the North Arabian Sea. This exercise focused on enhancing capabilities to combat sea pollution.
In light of the recent conflicts in the Middle East, including attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, the presence and vigilance of the Pakistan Navy’s warships have become increasingly crucial for ensuring the uninterrupted flow of maritime trade and the overall stability of the region.
