Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Amjad Khan Niazi says Pakistan is a peace loving country and seeks harmonious and peaceful co-existence with all countries; however, this desire for peace must not be taken as a sign of weakness.

Addressing the Convocation ceremony of 51st Pakistan Navy Staff Course at Pakistan Navy War College in Lahore on Friday, he said that Pakistan is faced with unprecedented maritime challenges as our over ambitious adversary is pursuing a massive build-up of conventional naval forces.

The Chief of the Naval Staff underlined that the rapidly transforming regional geo-strategic environment requires vigilance coupled with operational alacrity to augment combat potential.

The ceremony was attended by military officers, civil dignitaries and families of graduating officers.
