Zakaullah reiterated the navy's resolve to safeguard maritime frontiers of Pakistan against all threats.
He urged the commanders to remain at highest state of preparedness and maintain a constant vigil in their area of responsibility (AoR).
Zakaullah also appreciated successful test launch of the land-based anti-ship missile by the Pakistan Navy.
He said this weapon system had added a new dimension in the operational reach of the Pakistan Navy which would be able to further bolster seaward defence of the nation by having the capability of launching long range anti-ship missiles from land.
