Parramatta Promotes Pakistan Engagement

HMAS Parramatta (CMDR Heath Robertson) recently conducted an operational port visit to Karachi in Pakistan. The visit featured a visit from Minister for Defence, Senator John Faulkner, Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston and the Secretary of Defence, Dr Ian Watt; and an extensive program of engagement with the Pakistan Navy.
During his visit, Senator Faulkner met Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel, received an operational brief on the progress of the deployment, including on counter-piracy activities, and toured the ship.
The port visit to Karachi came at the end of the second patrol for Parramatta since her deployment to OP SLIPPER in March.
