Author: Agencies

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir and Chief of Australian Army Lieutenant General Simon Stuart reiterated their commitment to further strengthen cooperation in defence and security.

The resolve was expressed when the Australia’s top general met with COAS at General Headquarters (GHQ), said military’s media wing on Monday. They also recognised the value of continued collaboration for regional and global peace.

During the meeting, both the leaders engaged in discussions covering matters of mutual interest, particularly the global and regional security environment.

The COAS emphasised Pakistan’s appreciation for its ties with Australia, noting the importance of strong bilateral relations in promoting shared goals of peace and stability.

Lieutenant General Stuart commended Pakistan’s efforts in countering terrorism and expressed his resolve to deepen bilateral defense and security cooperation between the two countries.

Earlier, upon his arrival at GHQ, the Chief of the Australian Army laid a floral wreath at the Yadgar-e-Shuhada to honor Pakistan’s martyrs. He was accorded a warm welcome, with a smartly turned-out contingent of the Pakistan Army presenting a guard of honor to him.
