Message of the President of Pakistan on Navy Day – 8th September.
Islamabad : On the occasion of Navy Day, I convey my profound gratitude and admiration to the men and women of the Pakistan Navy who stand as the nation’s first line of defence at sea. This day is an opportunity to recall with pride the daring feats of our naval warriors and to recognise the vital role the Navy continues to play in safeguarding Pakistan’s maritime frontiers.
The 1965 war reminds us how, with courage and resolve, the Pakistan Navy wrote a golden chapter in history by striking far into enemy waters and disrupting their sense of security. Operation Somnath became a symbol of audacity and skill, inspiring generations of sailors to come.
Since then, the Pakistan Navy has steadily evolved into a modern and multi-dimensional force. Today, its responsibilities go far beyond combat readiness—from protecting sea trade routes to participating in international peace missions and disaster relief. This versatility reflects the Navy’s professionalism and its unwavering dedication to the nation.
During Bunanum-Marsoos, the Pakistan Navy not only remained vigilant in safeguarding Pakistan’s coastline but also demonstrated its prowess in restraining and countering any hostile or aggressive posturing by the enemy.
On this day, I pay homage to our martyrs whose sacrifices will never be forgotten, and I salute our ghazis whose steadfastness remains a source of national pride. Their courage strengthens the resolve of the entire nation.
I am confident that the Pakistan Navy will continue to guard our maritime frontiers and contribute to regional peace and stability with the same spirit of service, courage, and excellence that has always defined it.
Pakistan Navy Zindabad!
Pakistan Paindabad!
