Pakistani Naval Task  Force returned from a seven day visit to Shanghai where the Chinese People’s Liberation Army-Navy and the Pakistani Navy concluded their first-ever exercise in the East China Sea. This exercise took place from over two days at the end of the year[1]

Additionally, since CPEC has crucial importance and has been considered as the bedrock for future economic development of Pakistan, safety of visiting Chinese engineers, workers and other personnel is paramount. In the pursuit of this objective, Pakistan Navy has trained a special Marines unit to protect Chinese personnel working at the Gwadar Port[2]
