ISLAMABAD:

There is a need to keep abreast of the emerging technology and make endeavours to deal with the complex security environment, said Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Amjad Khan Niazi.

He was addressing the course participants of National Security and War Course at Naval Headquarters, Islamabad on Wednesday.

The chief of the naval staff paid rich tributes to the role and sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces for the defence and security of the motherland.

The naval chief reiterated that jointness remains central to the modern concept of military operations as no military force can achieve success in today's warfare single-handedly. He underscored that Pakistan Navy with the support of sister services is ready to tackle the maritime security challenges faced by the country.

While focusing on the threat milieu, the Admiral dwelled on various initiatives and developmental plans of the Pakistan Navy in line with his vision of projecting the Pakistan Navy as a formidable regional maritime power with a global outlook.

The naval chief emphasised that Pakistan Navy has always been at the forefront in ensuring the safety and security of international waters through collaborative maritime security and independent initiative of Regional Maritime Security Patrols. He highlighted the need to harness the potential of Pakistan’s immense maritime potential to provide the much-needed stimulus to the national economy.
