Navy’s Aman drill grows to host 45 countries
REAR Admiral Naveed Ashraf speaking to journalists during a press conference on Monday.—PPI
KARACHI: The seventh edition of the multinational maritime exercise Aman-2021 will be held in Karachi and in Pakistan waters from Feb 11 to 16.
It was announced by Pakistan Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Naveed Ashraf during a media briefing held at the Pakistan Navy Fleet Headquarters here on Monday.
“With a resolve against terrorism and piracy, carrying high the slogan of ‘Together for Peace’, the Aman Exercise is conducted by the Pakistan Navy after every two years in the form of a collaboration between the navies of various countries to maintain a safe and sustainable maritime realm and, above all, enhance interoperability between regional and extra-regional navies,” said Rear Admiral Ashraf.
With around 45 countries participating in the exercise along with their surface and air assets, special operation forces/ marine teams, senior officers and observers, Aman-2021 will have two phases: a harbour phase and a sea phase.
“Like any maritime nation, Pakistan has substantial stakes in the maritime domain. Our interest in safer and crime-free seas is rooted into three conspicuous realities — our extraordinary dependence on the seas for trade, making the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project operational and our strategic location astride the global energy highway,” the Pakistan Fleet Commander pointed out.
“Together, these realities make maritime stability an important agenda of our national security. Maritime security is not only important for Pakistan, but also for all other countries whose prosperity and progress are strongly bonded with the seas. While operating together, we must be mindful that contemporary global maritime environment remains fraught with traditional and non-traditional challenges which require collaborative response by friendly navies. No country can single-handedly tackle the diverse threats that exist in the seas,” he said.
Rear Admiral Ashraf also highlighted that Pakistan Navy being a firm believer in the concept of having collaborative maritime security had been actively participating in maritime and counter-piracy operations along with other partner navies since 2004.
“Since 2018, Pakistan Navy has been undertaking regional maritime security patrols, in which our ships maintain near permanent presence in vital sea areas in the Indian Ocean Region to contribute towards maintaining good order at sea.
“Aman Exercise provides enormous opportunities to the participants for contriving the contours of such a collective response. In this regard, Aman-2021 is an effort to foster regional camaraderie, boost interoperability and exhibit a ‘united resolve against multifaceted threats,” he said, adding that Aman-2021 would provide a common forum for information-sharing, mutual understanding and identifying of areas of common interest for all participating navies to achieve the mutual goal of maintaining stability, peace and prosperity at sea.
“The exercise is a reflection that nations can play a constructive role in building new ties, establishing innovative relationships while strengthening existing ones.”
He also underlined that the Aman Exercise, through the years, had been all about bridging gaps and making it possible to operate together in pursuance of common objectives. Hence the motto: ‘Together for Peace’.
In reply to a question about the Covid-19 pandemic and if it has deterred any country from taking part in the exercise this time, the Pakistan Fleet Commander said the Aman Exercise had only grown in participation and the pandemic had not stopped that this time as well.
“In 2007, when the first edition was held, we started with 32 countries and now we are 45,” he said while mentioning some of the countries such as Russia, the US, the UK and other countries from Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, East Africa, South Asia and South East Asia, which had confirmed their participation. “Some countries also send late confirmations so we are expecting more,” he added.
As for the pandemic, he said they had gone to great lengths in view of everyone’s remaining safe and healthy. “Care will be taken to enforce all standard operating procedures. To ensure requisite distance, the events will be held at outdoor venues,” he added.
Answering another question about Russia’s participation this time, Rear Admiral Ashraf said they would be participating with three ships this time. “The Black Sea Fleet is heading here right now,” he said.
“We already have the Arabian Monsoon Exercise with Russia, which is a bilateral exercise,” he added.
China and Turkey were other countries with which Pakistan enjoyed good country-to-country and navy-to-navy relations, he said. “We have got ships, submarines and sensors from China. Some ships and units have come here from China and some are being constructed in collaboration with China at the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works Limited here,” he said.
“Similarly, with Turkey we also have joint exercises, bilateral visits and ship building collaborations,” he concluded.

“Harbour activities would include seminars, discussions, demonstrations and international get-togethers, while the sea phase would demonstrate tactical manoeuvres on anti-piracy, counterterrorism, gunnery firing and search and rescue missions. The hallmark of the sea phase would be the international fleet review, which will be witnessed by national and foreign dignitaries from one of Pakistan Navy’s bigger ships,” he said.
“Like any maritime nation, Pakistan has substantial stakes in the maritime domain.

45 international navies converging in Karachi for AMAN-21
KARACHI: The Pakistan Navy is hosting 45 international navies for Naval Exercise AMAN-21 from Feb 11-17th to hone in collaborative response for global maritime domain fraught with traditional and non-traditional challenges
This was formally announced on Monday at the Pakistan Navy Fleet Headquarters, Karachi by Commander Pakistan Fleet Rear Admiral Naveed Ashraf during a media briefing. Exercise AMAN is the seventh multinational naval exercise being hosted by Pakistan at the concurrence of strategic west Indian ocean connecting Africa, Middle East, South Asia criss-crossing strategic SLOCs with critical chokepoints. With the slogan of ‘Together for Peace’ AMAN-21 is being conducted on a biennial basis by the Pakistan Navy to project soft image of Pakistan. The exercise contributes towards regional peace and stability, resolve against terrorism in maritime domain, collaboration to maintain safe and sustainable maritime realm and above all enhance interoperability between regional and extra regional navies.
Rear Admiral Naveed Ashraf said Pakistan has remained steadfast in fighting the forces of terror and tyranny with countless sacrifices and losses.He said the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another dimension to the already complex security milieu. However, timely and correct decisions of our leadership have kept us stable. Pakistan has remained a responsible state and shall continue to play its role amid diversified challenges. Like any maritime nation, Pakistan has substantial stakes in the maritime domain. Our interest in safer and crime-free seas is rooted into three conspicuous realities: Firstly, our extraordinary dependence on the seas for trade, secondly operationalization of CPEC project; and lastly our strategic location astride the global energy highway.
Cumulatively, these realities make the maritime stability as an important agenda of our national security. As we truly believe in the centuries old dictum that ‘Sea unites while Land divides’, Pakistan considers that maritime security is not just important for itself but for all other countries whose prosperity and progress are strongly bonded with the seas, the commander Pakistan Fleet said
While operating together, we must be mindful that contemporary global maritime environment remains fraught with traditional and non-traditional challenges which require collaborative response by friendly navies. No country can single handedly tackle the diverse threats that exist or the new ones that emanate on daily basis.
Commander Pakistan Fleet also highlighted that Pakistan Navy is a firm believer in the concept of having Collaborative Maritime Security and therefore has been actively participating in Maritime and Counter Piracy Operations along with other partner navies since 2004. Since 2018, Pakistan Navy is undertaking Regional Maritime Security Patrols, in which our ships maintain near permanent presence in vital sea areas in the Indian Ocean Region to contribute towards maintaining good order at sea. AMAN platform provides enormous opportunities to the participants for contriving the contours of such a collective response. In this regard, Exercise AMAN-21 is an effort to foster regional camaraderie, boost interoperability and exhibit a ‘united resolve against multifaceted threats.
With 45 countries including rivals US, Russia, China, Turkey and participating navies from Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and rest of the globe, Aman has become the showcase of Collaborative Maritime Security which is Scarlet Thread to ensure peace and stability in the region. 135 observers are also visiting Karachi for the entire week to review the harbour and sea phase of Aman -21. International Maritime Conference is another major event to be held during the multinational exercise.The navies are participating with surface and air assets, Special Operation Forces, marine teams and senior officers. The harbour activities would include seminars, discussions, demonstrations and international get-togethers. The sea phase would have tactical manoeuvres on anti-piracy, counterterrorism, gunnery firing and search & rescue.

RF Navy ships arrived in Pakistan to participate in multinational naval exercise "Aman-2021"
Today, a detachment of ships of the Russian Navy entered the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and then moored in the port of Karachi – the main naval base of the Pakistani Navy, says press center of RF Defence Ministry.
At the invitation of the Pakistani side, from February 12 to 16, Russian sailors will take part in the multinational naval exercise "Aman-2021", which will be held in the Arabian Sea.
After the detachment of ships entered the port, Alexander Khozin, Consul General of the Russian Federation in Karachi, arrived on board the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" to greet the sailors on their arrival at the "Aman-2021" exercise.
During the first stage of the exercise, from February 12 to 14, the Russian side will take part in the coastal phase of the exercise, which includes planning conferences to agree on the order of interaction and organization of communication. It is also planned that representatives of the Russian Navy delegation will participate in the 9th International Maritime Conference. The naval phase of the exercise "Aman-2021" will be held in the period from 15 to 16 February.
The objectives of the "Aman-2021" exercise are to strengthen and develop military cooperation between the countries participating in the maneuvers in the interests of security and stability at sea, as well as to exchange experience between military sailors in repelling the threats of maritime piracy in areas of heavy shipping.
It is planned that in addition to the Russian Navy and the Pakistani Navy, ships from five other countries will be involved in the "Aman-2021" exercise. More than 30 foreign military delegations will observe the exercise.
The Russian Navy is represented by the ships of the Black Sea Fleet - the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich", the patrol ship "Dmitry Rogachev" and the rescue tug SB-739, a marine corps unit, a mine clearance unit and a sea-based deck helicopter.
The naval exercise "Aman-2021", held in the waters of the Arabian Sea, is a non-block exercise. All countries participating in the naval exercises take part in the exercise independently (at the invitation of the Pakistani side).
Russians are bringing a Krivak class frigate as used by Indian Navy. Nice opportunity for drills with PN subs.....
