Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi visited naval headquarters on Wednesday and said he had “complete trust and confidence in the professional capabilities of the Pakistan Navy to defend the country’s maritime frontiers.”

“It is reassuring to learn that our navy is fully prepared to deal with any threat from our coastal borders, while also being ready to provide security to Gwadar Port and CPEC. The government will provide the Pakistan Navy its full support to ensure that it remains an effective force that is capable of meeting all future challenges,” said Abbasi.
