Karachi: China Geological Survey Research Ship (CGS) "Hai Yang Di Zhi Shi Hao" visited Pakistan for Hydrocarbon research and geological mapping under the auspices of Pakistan Navy.
CGS Research Ship undertook this expedition from Dec 18 to Feb 19. Pakistan Navy hosted the CGS research ship "HAI YANG DI ZHI SHI HAO" at Karachi port.
The visit of research ship was materialized after the meeting of Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi with Vice Minister China Geological Survey (CGS) Dr. Zhong Ziran, in Beijing last year.
