Greece to give four frigates to Pakistan
2006-05-16
Greece will provide four frigates to the Pakistan Navy, two of which will be delivered this year, said Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Monday during the signing of a tourism cooperation agreement in Athens. Aziz heads a delegation to Athens including members of his cabinet, senior officials and businessmen scheduled to meet with Greek ministers, ship owners and commerce board members during a two-day visit. The prime minister said both countries were looking forward to stronger ties in defence and security matters and had agreed to the deal. "Pakistan will acquire used frigates," he said. He did not reveal further details.
