The statement stressed that the “Megilem” project, which is based on joint cooperation between Turkey and Pakistan, represents a milestone in the strategic partnership between the two countries.

In 2018, Ankara and Islamabad signed a deal for the Turkish company “Asfat” to produce 4 corvettes within the framework of the “Melgam” project for the benefit of the Pakistani Navy, provided that two of them are manufactured in Turkey and the same in Pakistan.
