During his official visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Chief of the Army Staff of the United Arab Emirates met with the Minister of Defense of Saudi Arabia to discuss bilateral military and defense relations.
General Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), will be traveling on official business between January 4 and January 10 to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The army chief will meet with senior leaders of both nations to discuss issues of mutual interest, military cooperation, and bilateral ties with a focus on security-related topics, according to the military’s media wing.
Saudi Arabia’s Khalid bin Salman, the country’s defense minister, met with the COAS on Thursday and “emphasized the strategic alliance” between the two “brotherly countries.”
The minister tweeted that the leaders “examined the bilateral military and defense relations and discussed measures to improve our collaboration.”
General Michael Erik Kurilla, the US commander of Central Command (CENTCOM), had earlier spoken with the COAS during a visit to the General Headquarters (GHQ). A meeting at the level of the delegation came next.
According to the ISPR, the conference covered topics of mutual interest, regional stability, and security, defense and security cooperation, and especially military-to-military connections.
The commander praised Pakistan for its accomplishments in the battle against terrorism, flood relief efforts, and regional peacemaking.
