Pakistan commissioned two multi-role naval frigates from China on Wednesday, marking the completion of a four-warship agreement signed between the two countries in 2018.
Pakistan’s navy chief Admiral Muhammad Amjad Khan Niazi said the induction of the new frigates—PNS Tippu Sultan and PNS Shahjahan—“ushers a new chapter in the Pakistan-China friendship.”
