The Federal Minister for Defense Production Zubaida Jalal has said that Pakistan highly values its relations with Italy and considers it as an important defense partner because of its rich experience and defence related expertise.

In a meeting with the Ambassador of Italy Andreas Ferrarese in Islamabad on Wednesday, Zubaida Jalal said that the Italian defence industry has a great potential and the similar potential exists in the energy and production sector of Pakistan defence industry.

Therefore, there is a good possibility for us to look up for joint ventures,” the minister said.

“Agreeing on the existing potential of cooperation, level of friendship, both sides need to promote the regular exchange of high-level visits,” she said.

Meanwhile, Zubaida Jalal also sympathized and expressed her good wishes for the government and people of Italy and said that we stand with them in this difficult hour of COVID-19 since it caused huge losses to them.

If it was a serious meeting - it wouldn't have been with her serious meetings (read: productive) in Pakistan are ones where the PM or a services chief is sitting. Sad but true.

Read my mind lol. FREMM isn't needed bro (China and Turkey projects), maybe systems.

There are limits to what Italy can provide because a lot of its programs are a result of consortium partnerships with the UK, France, Germany, etc.

In some cases, it's doable, but in others, not so much. The FREMM, Typhoon, Aster-30, etc, all fall into the latter -- so they're basically no-goes for us. The French, UK, etc can block sales.

However, the stuff Italy 'owns' -- e.g., CAMM-ER, Falco-series, are doable. Ditto for the specific items the UK and Germany have approved for sale to Pakistan, e.g., Leonardo's AESA radars or various communications, EW/ELINT, etc, gear.

U.K. is cool with any arms sales they have property rights over, provided the cash is there. Typhoons have been offered several times.
Cash is an issue though.
Cooperation between the two air arms and military is close.

Best not to talk about the French or Germans for that matter, regarding arms.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Italy and Spain seem to be good allies for Muslim countries among European countries. They are not yet beholden by anti-Muslim policies as so many others.

It is important to note that Italy supports Turkey in Libya.

Italians have some great tech ahem Leonardo ahem... they are also not shy in sharing it if the money is right.
I worked on FREM's for them and they were nice boats, Italians are very underrated when it comes to defence equipment.

I will always have a soft spot for Italy, it is just like a developed version of Pakistan, from their cultural values to their personal behaviours - they are very similar.

 

[Zarvan]

Italy is a great reliable partner with seriously good defence products. Therefore this corporation would increase in future.
