At a ship delivery ceremony held at the İstanbul Naval Shipyard Command, the MILGEM corvette PNS Khaibar was officially handed over to Pakistan, marking another milestone in bilateral defence cooperation.
Addressing the ceremony, H.E. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan underscored the timeless nature of the two countries’ brotherhood, saying, “The Türkiye–Pakistan friendship, rooted deep in our shared history and tested over centuries, will—Allah willing—endure until the end of time, flourish, and grow ever stronger.”
The delivery of PNS Khaibar highlights the deepening defence relationship between Islamabad and Ankara and will be watched closely in Pakistani naval and strategic circles as a tangible sign of growing cooperation in maritime security.
The ceremony at İstanbul Tersanesi Komutanlığı was presented as a continuation of long-standing ties, reflecting shared history and mutual commitment to strengthening bilateral defence links.
