KARACHI: As many as 37 countries are set to take part in the upcoming five-day multinational exercise AMAN 2017, starting from February 10, said Pakistan Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Arifullah Hussaini while addressing a media briefing at the Pakistan Navy (PN) Fleet H
eadquarters on Wednesday.
He said that new
security challenges have also changed the maritime environment. “Today, threats such as p
iracy, human smuggling and drug trafficking have made the
security of the Indian Ocean more complex. In this changing scenario, maritime
security challenges need to be focused collectively by the
international community, as no country can counter these challenge
s single-handedly.
