In meeting with COAS & CENTCOM chief discusses regional situation. Commander US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Michael Erik Kurilla Thursday discussed regional security situation with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.
This was the first time that the CENTCOM chief met the army chief in person since the latter assumed office last month. The meeting was held at General Headquarters (GHQ).
Gen Munir took charge as the army chief on November 29, as former army chief Gen (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa handed over the baton of command of the Pakistan Army to him.
In today’s meeting with the COAS, the CENTCOM chief discussed defence and security cooperation, particularly military-to-military ties, the Inter-Services Public Relations said (ISPR).
