Creek between Pakistan and India was no more a
dispute and almost everything was settled at
technical level.

required to strike a deal, Daily Times reports. Former deputy chief of Naval Staff (Operations) , Vice Admiral (retd) Iftikhar Rao, emphasized that Pakistan needed to update and further develop its maritime policy of 2002 and take into account the
recent trends and developments.

efforts to counter the hegemonic designs of India to dominate the Indian Ocean, which it strategically
considers ' India's ocean', the report added.
