ISTANBUL: Turkey will sell four corvette ships to Pakistan Navy, Defence Minister Nurettin Canikli was quoted as saying by state-run Anadolu agency on Thursday.

Turkey said last year it had signed a memorandum of understanding for the sale, and Mr Canikli said the tender was now finalised.

He described it as Turkey’s biggest single military export deal and “a very important day” for the defence industry.
