KARACHI, Pakistan: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and the Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz on Wednesday jointly launched the fourth MILGEM Class Corvette-PNS Tariq at the Karachi Shipyard.

Initiated in 2018, the MILGEM project envisages the construction of four Corvettes for the Pakistan Navy – two in Pakistan and two in Turkiye.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif earlier attended the launching ceremony of the third Naval Corvette at PNS Khybermin in Istanbul in November 2022.

The first two Corvettes PNS Babur and PNS Badar were launched in Istanbul and Karachi, in August 2021 and May 2022 respectively.

The MILGEM project represents an enduring symbol of Pakistan-Turkiye collaboration in the maritime domain.

It is a tangible step towards self-reliance and indigenization and would fulfil the critical security needs of the Pakistan Navy.

Pakistan and Türkiye enjoy deep-rooted fraternal ties, characterized by frequent exchanges at the leadership level, commonality of views on regional and global issues and strengthened cooperation in all areas of mutual interest.
