MUHAMMAD BILAL — UPDATED MAR 31, 2015 05:39PM




ISLAMABAD: Naval officials informed the Standing Committee on Defence Monday that the federal government has endorsed a summary to get eight submarines from China.

Pakistan's military has long been a major importer of defence equipment, particularly from key ally China.

After the Cold War ended Pakistan began to deepen defence and economic ties with China.

The committee was informed that Secretary of the Economic Affairs division Muhammad Saleem Sethi would be leaving for China tomorrow where the issue is expected to come under discussion.

The officials also said that the national security committee will give the final nod to go ahead with the plan to get eight submarines from China.

"Other proposals are under consideration as well. The Pakistan navy is also in touch with Germany, Britain and France to purchase used submarines," officials informed the committee.

Keeping in view the level of threat and the present status of submarines, naval officials said Pakistan needed the latest submarines.

The naval officials also revealed that France had refused to provide submarines to Pakistan.

They said there seemed to be various reasons behind France's refusal to sell submarines to Pakistan — including an issue of technology transfer. On the other hand, they said France was selling its submarines to India.

The naval officials rejected some committee members' concerns that Chinese technology was not of satisfactory quality.They said there was no such issue at hand as JF-17 has proven to be a world class military jet.

The officials informed the standing committee that Pakistan's defence relations with Russia were also improving.

On the other hand, there appeared to be a divide among committee members whether Pakistan should send troops to Saudi Arabia.

Defence Secretary Lieutenant General (retd) Alam Khattak said that the Pakistan Army would abide by the government's decision on whether to send troops to Saudi Arabia to partake in a military campaign in Yemen.

This was the first time that the defence secretary spelled out the official stance of the Pakistan Army on sending troops to Saudi Arabia to partake in a military campaign in Yemen.

His brief comment came in response to a volley of questions by committee members as to whether military troops would be sent to the Saudi kingdom.

Chairman Sheikh Rohail Asghar maintained that the Pakistan Army should chase terrorists regardless of their location but women members belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Awami National Party (ANP) had a different point of view.

巴基斯坦《黎明报》网站3月31日发布消息称，巴基斯坦海军周一告知国防常务委员会，联邦政府已经对从中国购买8艘潜艇的简报表示支持。

　　委员会被告知，经济事务部秘书穆哈穆德·塞利姆·塞斯周二将前往中国并开始讨论相关事宜。海军官方同时表示，国防委员会将会最终同意推进从中国进口8艘潜艇的计划。

　　海军官员驳斥了一些委员会成员对于中国技术不能令人满意的观点，他们说，在JF-17(中巴联合研制的“枭龙”战机)证明自己是一种世界级的军用喷气式战机之后，上述说法根本不成立。“其他的提议也在考虑之中，巴基斯坦海军同时与德国、英国以及法国就购买二手潜艇展开接触。”海军官员表示。

　　巴基斯坦长期以来都进口多种国防装备，尤其是从其关键盟友中国那里获得武器。冷战以后，巴基斯坦开始与中国加深经济与军事合作。考虑到国家遭受的威胁水平以及现有潜艇的状况，海军表示巴基斯坦需要最新型的潜艇。

　　海军官方同时表示法国已经拒绝再向巴基斯坦提供潜艇。据悉，在法国拒绝向巴基斯坦出售潜艇背后似乎有着多种原因，包括技术转移问题上的分歧。同时，法国正准备向巴基斯坦的宿敌——印度出售潜艇。

　　巴基斯坦海军现役5艘常规动力潜艇均为法国的阿戈斯塔级，其中2艘为阿戈斯塔-70型，3艘为阿戈斯塔-90B型，阿戈斯塔-70型在上世纪70年代已经采购，至今已服役超过30年，即将退役，3艘阿戈斯塔-90B型采购于上世纪90代末本世纪初，是巴基斯坦海军现役主力潜艇。巴基斯坦另外装备有3艘小型潜艇，均为德国SSK级潜艇。

　　2009年，巴基斯坦海军计划从德国购买两艘214型潜艇，但据报道由于建造价格超过20亿美元，巴基斯坦停止了此采办计划。
