MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 11th February, 2021) Russia, China and dozens of other countries from ASEAN, the African Union, the EU, the Gulf Cooperation Council and NATO will take part in the Multinational Naval Exercise AMAN 2021 near Pakistan's port city of Karachi on February 11-16.
The drills, consisting of harbor and sea phases, aim to enhance coordination and mutual understanding between the naval forces.
