For the first time after the 1971 war, a warship from Pakistan has reached Bangladesh. Pakistan Navy’s warship PNS Saif has reached Chittagong (Chattogram), Bangladesh. Although it is being described as a goodwill mission, the special thing is that during this time, Pakistani Navy Chief Navid Ashraf is also present in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
On Ashraf’s visit, Bangladesh Army issued an official statement saying that the Pakistani Navy Chief has met Bangladesh Army Chief Waqar Uz Zama during his visit to Dhaka. During this meeting, both of them discussed increasing defense cooperation between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Also, emphasis was laid on strengthening the military strength of both the countries.

Let us tell you that after the departure of Sheikh Hasina government in August 2024, Pakistan was among the first countries which welcomed the interim government of Mohammad Yunus. Since then, relations between Dhaka and Islamabad are continuously improving, while tension in the relations between India and Bangladesh is increasing.
Pakistani warships are suffering from technical problems
Pakistani warship PNS Saif is suffering from technical fault these days. According to reports, there has been a malfunction in the HP-5 stabilizer system of this warship. Due to this, the control of the ship may be affected during the sea voyage and there may be a lot of problems in navigation. PNS Saif was sold by China to Pakistan in 2010. This is the same frigate class ship which also includes PNS Shamsheer and PNS Asalat.
According to defense analysts, China had collected about Rs 6,375 crore from Pakistan for the supply of ships of this class, but now the repeated malfunctions have once again raised questions on the quality of Chinese weapons.
