Pakistan Maritime Security Ship (PMSS) “Kashmir” will call over at Colombo Port on a four-day goodwill visit from August 13 to 16. Pakistan Naval ships frequently pay port calls to Sri Lanka, as both countries enjoy warm diplomatic and strong military ties, a Pakistan High Commission statement says.

“Such interactions also demonstrate both navies’ resolve to contribute towards achieving a more secure and conducive maritime environment which is essential for the regional peace, prosperity and harmony,” it adds.

The PMSS Kashmir, a 94-metre MPV, displaces 1,550 tons of water and is equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, communication and navigational equipment.
