| KARACHI: Warships from countries including China and Britain, along with host Pakistan, began a naval exercise on Tuesday designed to strengthen cooperation against maritime terrorism, said the Pakistan Navy. A total of 27 countries, including the US and Iran, are participating in the weeklong “Aman 07” exercise centred on Karachi – the home of Pakistan’s navy. In an initial “harbour phase”, naval officials would attend conferences and exchange information on the capabilities of their forces, said navy spokesman Lt Cmdr Salman Ali, adding that exercises at sea would begin on Thursday. Britain, France, China, Malaysia and Bangladesh have already sent ships to Karachi for the war games. |
