ISLAMABAD: The navies of Pakistan and Oman have conducted a bilateral exercise during the Regional Maritime Security Patrol (RMSP) in the Gulf of Oman, the Pakistan Navy said on Wednesday, “demonstrating interoperability” to undertake joint operations in the region.
Pakistan regularly conducts bilateral exercises with the navies of friendly countries to enhance maritime cooperation, promote regional stability, and strengthen overall ties. These exercises focus on improving interoperability, tactical operations, and counter-terrorism capabilities. The Pakistan Navy also showcases its commitment through these exercises to collaborate with allies on maritime security efforts.
“Pakistan Navy Ship Yarmook has conducted a passage exercise with the Royal Navy of Oman Vessel Al Seeb,” the Pakistan Navy’s media wing said.
“The exercise was aimed to develop synergy and mutual understanding between the two navies while demonstrating interoperability to undertake joint operations in the region.”
Earlier, PNS Yarmook also visited Muscat where the commanding officer called on the military leadership of Oman.
Last week, the newly commissioned Pakistan Navy warship Hunain visited Jeddah to take part in a bilateral exercise with the Al-Riyadh frigate of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF).
Earlier this month, Pakistani and Turkish naval ships also conducted patrol and naval drills in the North Arabian Sea.
