Observations: Countries Participating in @PakistanNavy's #AMANExercise2021 (Thread)
#AMAN2021 has representation from all continents except Antarctica and Australia.

Majority of participants belong to Asia and its various sub-regions while the second highest regional representation is from Europe.
Highest sub-regional participation in #AMAN2021 from the Asian continent was West Asia (including 'Middle East') while the least was Southeast Asia.
Interestingly, 36 out of 45 participating countries in #AMAN2021 (~76%) are also part of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
