5月9日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。记者：据报道，中方为巴基斯坦建造的“麒麟”级常规动力潜艇首艇在三亚交付，巴基斯坦总统、海军参谋长等军政高层出席交付仪式。请问对此有何评论？蒋斌：这是中巴之间正常的装备合作，也是中巴全天候战略合作伙伴关系的生动体现。近年来，在两国领导人战略引领下，两国关系不断迈上新高度、取得新成果。两军多年来肝胆相照、守望相助，在战略沟通、联演联训、人员培训、装备技术等领域合作成果丰硕，为维护两国安全与地区和平稳定发挥了重要作用。下步，中巴两军将持续巩固战略互信，深化各领域务实合作，为构建更加紧密的中巴命运共同体、促进世界和平与发展贡献力量。

Summary

Machine summary

China delivered the lead boat of the Hangor-class conventional submarine to Pakistan at a ceremony in Sanya on or before May 9, attended by Pakistan's president and chief of naval staff, with MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Jiang Bin characterizing the transfer as routine bilateral equipment cooperation. The delivery marks a concrete milestone in China's role as Pakistan's primary submarine supplier and demonstrates CSSC's capacity to execute a full submarine construction and transfer program for a foreign navy, a capability with direct implications for regional naval balances in the Indian Ocean.
