ISLAMABAD: Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed has lauded Pakistan Navy’s Maritime Diplomacy as an example of Pakistan’s soft power outreach and ability to bring 45 diverse countries and navies on a common platform of peace in the Indian Ocean Region. He was delivering the keynote address at the International Maritime Conference organised by National Institute of Maritime Affairs (NIMA), as part of the Pakistan Navy’s AMAN exercises.
Senator Mushahid appreciated Pakistan Navy’s positive regional role in peacetime, particularly anti-piracy operations and humanitarian help to victims of conflicts and natural disasters in the Indian Ocean Region. Referring to the geopolitical context, he talked about the resurgence of the ‘Asian Century’ with an inexorable shift in the global balance of economic & political power from the West to the East.
Pakistan today has a “strategic space” due to various new geo-political developments and this space must be utilized to promote “maritime diplomacy” – already successfully practiced by the Pakistan Navy through the 45-nation AMAN 2021 exercise that opened on Feb 13.
