ISLAMABAD - The launching ceremony of the most modern offshore pa­trol vessel, Pakistan Navy Ship HUNAIN (Desig), be­ing built for Pakistan Navy was held at M/s DAMEN Shipyard Galati, Romania, on Wednesday. Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Mu­hammad Amjad Khan Niazi was the chief guest at the ceremony, a Pakistan Navy news release said.

Speak­ing on the occasion, the Naval Chief highlighted the importance of maritime security under the pre­vailing conventional and non-conventional mari­time threats to energy and trade highways passing through the Indian Ocean Region.
