Mattis was on a day-long visit to Islamabad, where he held meetings with the country’s civil and military leadership.

The COAS, who chaired the 206th Corps Commanders’ conference, “took the forum on board about his military diplomacy through his recent visits aboard and interaction with foreign dignitaries visiting Pakistan”, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

“Forum also discussed regional and internal security situation with specific reference to Afghanistan.” US defence chief urges Pakistan to ‘redouble’ efforts against militants.
