Sindh Governor, Commander Karachi discuss security, blue economy

KARACHI: Sindh Governor Syed Muhammad Nihal Hashmi met Commander Karachi, Vice Admiral Muhammad Faisal Abbasi, at the Governor House on Tuesday to discuss maritime security, the blue economy, and the sustainable use of marine resources.

The Governor said Pakistan’s vast maritime resources offered significant opportunities for economic growth and development. We need to promote the blue economy to create new avenues for employment, investment, and economic activity.

He called for a coordinated strategy to ensure sustainable use of water and marine resources. Greater attention should be given to fisheries, maritime trade, coastal development and other sectors linked to the blue economy.

Hashmi said the Pakistan Navy had an important role not only in safeguarding national defence and maritime security but in protecting the country’s marine resources.

The Governor appreciated the services and contributions of the Pakistan Navy towards the country’s maritime security and defence.
