ISLAMABAD: Pakistani naval ship Zulfiqar has visited the port of Aqaba in southern Jordan for a joint drill with the Royal Jordanian Naval Force, the Pakistan Navy said on Sunday.
PNS Zulfiqar's visit was a part of the navy's overseas deployment to the Mediterranean and Red Sea, according to a statement by the Pakistan Navy.
The commanding officer of PNS Zulfiqar met with government officials and Royal Jordanian Naval Force commander Col. Hisham Khaleel Al-Jarrah, who also inspected the Pakistani ship.
"The visit of PNS Zulfiqar is a reaffirmation of Pakistan Navy-Royal Jordanian Naval Force collaboration and will further serve to foster brotherly relations between Pakistan and Jordan," the statement said.
After the visit, the frigate took part in a passage exercise with the Jordanian fast attack craft Al-Hassan and patrol boats.
