The plane stayed at Portsmouth for two days. Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Moazzam Ahmad Khan also visited the ship and received a briefing on the visit.
He extended best wishes to the Mission Commander and the crew. The High Commissioner hoped that such visits would further strengthen Pakistan-UK defence, security and diplomatic ties.
