Pakistani Prime Minister to visit Türkiye

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan will visit Türkiye to attend the launching ceremony of MILGEM Corvette Project.
“Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan will pay a visit to Istanbul on November 25-26, 2022 to attend the launching ceremony of the third vessel of the Pakistan MILGEM Corvette Project at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
MILGEM project is a national warship program of the Republic of Turkey. Managed by the Turkish Navy, the project aims at developing multipurpose corvettes, frigates, and destroyers that can be deployed in a range of missions, including reconnaissance, surveillance, early warning, anti-submarine warfare, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air warfare, and amphibious operations.
As of 2018, the MILGEM project covers four Ada class anti-submarine warfare corvettes and one ELINT corvette, four Istanbul class multipurpose frigates and TF2000 class anti-air warfare destroyers destined for the Turkish Navy, four Babur-class corvettes for the Pakistan Navy.
The name of the project emerged from the phrase "National Ship" in Turkish – Milli Gemi. (ILKHA)
