The event is held every other year and promotes maritime security with the support of regional and global partners to fight piracy and terror, as well as to end the flow of narcotics, arms trafficking, climate change, and stop their recurrence. Its motto is \u201cTogether for Peace\u201d \u2013 as AMAN means \u201cPeace\u201d in Sanskrit and Urdu.\n<\/p>\n<p>While this year\u2019s exercise includes vessels and other elements from the navies of the United States, Turkey, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Sir Lanka, Bangladesh, and numerous African Union nations, this year it also saw an element of China\u2019s People Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) take part.<a href=\"http:\/\/eng.chinamil.com.cn\/CHINA_209163\/TopStories_209189\/16201282.html\"> Beijing has deployed the Type 052D guided-missile destroyer Nanning<\/a>Together with a boat-borne helicopter and dozens more marines.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this exercise, we are mainly participating in tactical exchanges in the harbor, ship exhibition, live-fire shooting, counterterrorism, anti-piracy operations, and search and rescue, among other tactical courses,\u201d Qiu Maoxuan is the captain of Nanning.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltimes.cn\/page\/202302\/1285275.shtml\"> The Global Times spoke to them on the sidelines<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>These exercises will continue through Tuesday<a href=\"https:\/\/gulfnews.com\/world\/asia\/pakistan\/pakistan-navy-hosts-50-countries-for-multinational-exercise-aman-2023-1.93803073\"> were designed to include two components that had harbor and ocean phases.<\/a> \u2013 with the former featuring seminars, operational discussions, demonstrations, and pre-sail planning, while the second has included tactical maneuvers related to maritime security including anti-piracy and counter-terrorism drills, as well as search and rescue operations.
