ISLAMABAD: A United States Navy ship, the USS Wayne E. Meyer, docked at Karachi Port on Wednesday for a two-day visit, where it was received by senior Pakistan Navy officials and US diplomatic staff, the Pakistan Navy said in a statement.

US Chargé d’ Affaires, US Consulate, and PN officials received a visiting ship, a Pakistan Navy statement said.

It said that during the visit, the two sides are expected to hold professional interactions, training, and PASSEX (Naval drill) in the North Arabian Sea, underscoring Pakistan-US Navy cooperation for regional stability.

It may be recalled that Pakistan Navy Ship (PNS) Shamsheer and United States Ship (USS) Fitzgerald conducted an exercise in the North Indian Ocean in July to enhance interoperability and strengthen maritime cooperation.

Pakistan and the US navies have a long history of joint maritime cooperation through drills, bilateral training missions, and multinational operations like AMAN and CTF-150.

These engagements have focused on maritime security and coordinated responses to regional threats, reflecting a strategic partnership in maintaining stability in the Arabian Sea.
