KARACHI (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 14th February, 2021) The United States' participation in the Multinational Naval Exercises AMAN-21 indicates that the country assigns special importance to Pakistan as a partner in maintaining maritime security in the region, Deputy Commander of the US Naval Forces Central Command, Rear Adm. Curt Renshaw said on Sunday.

Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Nadeem Raza on Sunday witnessed maritime counter-terrorism demonstration, a part of multinational naval exercise titled ‘Aman-2021’ being held in Pakistan’s Arabian Sea.

“More than 40 countries are participating with ships, aircraft, special operations forces/maritime teams and observers in 7th edition of exercise being held in Pakistan (North Arabian Sea) from 11 to 16 February 2021,” said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.


Aman is a major multinational exercise, organised by Pakistan Navy, every two years since 2007 aimed at practicing operational drills and manoeuvres countering non-traditional threats and improving upon joint operations at sea through effective Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) with focus on enhancing operational skills and interoperability in a diverse maritime environment, it added.

The CJCSC lauded the professionalism of participants and appreciated efforts of Pakistan Navy in conducting the multinational exercise in a befitting manner.

He also emphasised that Pakistan is demonstrating its commitment to forge peaceful co-existence and shared global cooperation.
