The Indian Ocean Region (IOR), in particular, faces complex challenges such as maritime terrorism, drug and human trafficking, and piracy. To effectively counter these threats, enhanced cooperation between international navies is essential. As a key stakeholder and advocate of collaborative maritime security in the IOR, Pakistan is fully aware of its responsibilities and plays an active role in ensuring peace and stability at sea.

With over 90% of its total trade volume dependent on maritime routes, Pakistan’s national economy and security are deeply linked to maritime security, reinforcing the country's commitment to safeguarding regional stability.
