After nuclear reactor deal, Pak now eyeing joint construction of Chinese submarines | Pakistan has identified joint construction of submarines with China as one of areas which Islamabad would
now like to explore, Pakistan Navy Chief Admiral Noman Bashir said. "We have the
history of cooperation in the Navy with China like we have cooperation in all
other fields. We will not stop here and this cooperation will continue," The Nation
quoted Bashir, as saying. "Obviously we will have the ships and submarines which
will be according to our requirements and specifications," he added. The Navy
Chief also said that the ships would be bigger than the current F-22 P frigates.
"There is lot of discussion that are taking place," he added. Pakistan and China
have already finalised a nuclear deal, in which Chinese companies would be assisting
Islamabad to construct at least two new 650-megawatt reactors at Chashma in Punjab
province. China has also delivered three F-22P frigates to Pakistan , which are
equipped with modern weapons and sensors. The frigates are armed with surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles built by Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard of Shanghai.
