JEDDAH: Pakistan Navy’s guided missile destroyer PNS Khaibar visited Jeddah port on Aug. 21. Commanding officer of the ship called on Royal Saudi Naval Forces’ Western Fleet Commander Adm. Saeed Al-Zahrani and discussed strengthening of bilateral ties and inter-organizational procedures.
The admiral stressed the importance Saudi Arabia attaches to its relationship with Pakistan in general and with its armed forces in particular.
The commanding officer reiterated that Saudi Arabia has always been a second home for Pakistan Navy.
The visit included training of ship’s officers and men on damage control and fire fighting at the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) training school — a facility just recently commissioned and has state of the art equipment.
During the departure of the ship RSNF ship HMS Boraida conducted passage exercises while bidding farewell to the Pak Navy ship.
