He said that today Pakistan Navy is faced with multifarious internal and external challenges. A phenomenal naval build up by our arch rival maritime boundary dispute in Sir Creek area and fulfillment of other obligations at sea, warrant a strong Navy to safeguard Pakistan’s maritime interests with renowned vigour. Pakistan Navy has now transformed itself to become a reckonable force. It has largely indigenized warships’ and submarines’ construction, extended its reach and power to the far extents of the Indian Ocean and is an important player in region’s collaborative maritime security.
