The Eastern Fleet Command Headquarters (EFCHQ) welcomed an Operational Visit by Pakistan Navy ships PNS TAIMUR and PNS/M HANGOR at Kota Kinabalu Naval Base Jetty (TPKK) from 8 to 11 May 2026.
The operational visit was conducted for replenishment, logistical coordination, and crew rest purposes before both vessels continue their voyage back to Pakistan. The presence of these Pakistan Navy assets also reflects the strong maritime defense relations and enduring professional cooperation between the naval forces of both nations.
Throughout the visit, comprehensive coordination involving Formation Headquarters, Branch Divisions, and Units Under Command (UUC) was activated to ensure all administrative, security, and operational aspects were executed in an orderly, efficient, and professional manner in accordance with established procedures.
At the same time, security readiness and control measures within the Kota Kinabalu Naval Base area were further enhanced to ensure smooth daily routines and uninterrupted operational activities throughout the presence of PNS TAIMUR and PNS/M HANGOR in Sabah.
This visit not only strengthens regional defense diplomacy and strategic maritime cooperation but also serves as an important platform to enhance professional military relations, operational knowledge exchange, and mutual understanding between both navies.
