[India Summons Pakistani Chargé d'Affaires over Collision] The Indian Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on the 16th, saying that India summoned the Chargé d'Affaires of the Pakistani High Commission in India that day to lodge a strong protest against the collision between Pakistani and Indian naval vessels at sea. The statement said that the incident occurred in international waters, and although no major damage was caused, Pakistan's actions were "unacceptable and unprofessional" and violated the relevant agreements signed by both sides. India demanded that Pakistan ensure all military units act with caution, abide by the relevant agreements between the two countries, and prevent similar incidents from happening again. The Indian news agency ANI later reported that a Pakistani naval vessel "approached at high speed" with an Indian naval vessel conducting a routine mission in the North Arabian Sea on the evening of the 15th, local time, resulting in a collision. Pakistan has not yet commented on the incident. (Xinhua)
