Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the evening of the 16th saying that Pakistan summoned the Chargé d'affaires of India's High Commission in Pakistan on the same day to strongly protest against India's “extremely provocative and unacceptable behavior” carried out by an Indian Navy ship in the exclusive economic zone of Pakistan on the 15th. The statement said that during the Pakistan Navy's biennial routine exercises, the Indian warship took provocative actions against the Pakistani warship at very close range, which led to contact between the two ships. This act seriously violates the terms of the relevant agreement signed by the two sides and may increase regional tension. The statement said that the Palestinian side urges India to strictly abide by international law and bilateral agreements, especially those aimed at preventing maritime conflicts. The Chargé d'affaires a.i. of Pakistan's High Commission in India will make a similar protest to India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
