MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Pakistan’s guided-missile frigate Alamgir will be moored in the Russian port city of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea next week while on an official visit, the Pakistani Embassy said Friday.
"On December 6-9, 2016 the Pakistani Navy frigate Alamgir under the command of Capt. Imtiaz Ali will arrive in Novorossiysk with a state visit," an Embassy spokesman told reporters.
Rear Admiral Muhammad Fayyaz Gilani and Pakistani ambassador to Russia Qazi Khalilullah will attend a press conference that will be held during the port call.
The PNS Alamgir was purchased from the United States after its decommissioning 2010. It was refurbished and entered service in Pakistan the following year.
