KARACHI: Pakistan Navy participated in annual ‘Maritime Security Conference 2025’, organized by Combined Maritime Forces from 12-14 May at Bahrain.

PN was represented by Commander Combined Task Force 151 (CCTF-151), Cdre Sohail Ahmed Azmie. Representatives from 46 CMF partner Nations attended the conference.

Pakistan Navy’s participation in the conference reflects its dedication to collaborative efforts in maintaining maritime security and stability in the region.

Earlier, Pakistan Navy had officially launched its second Hangor-class submarine, PNS/M Shushuk, during a ceremony in Wuhan, China, in order to strengthen maritime defense.

This development is part of a 2015 agreement between Pakistan’s defense ministry and China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company, signed during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Pakistan.

Under the deal, Pakistan is acquiring eight advanced submarines—four of which are being built in China, while the remaining four will be constructed at Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works under a technology transfer initiative.

These submarines are designed with state-of-the-art weaponry and sensor systems, enhancing Pakistan’s naval capabilities by enabling precision strikes from extended ranges.
