RAWALPINDI: Pakistan and China have reiterated the need for maintaining peace and stability in the region and enhancing defence cooperation.

This came at a meeting between Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir and the Commander of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at the Army Headquarters in Beijing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

The COAS, who reached the neighbouring country a day earlier on official visit, was given a warm welcome and presented with the guard of honour at the PLA Headquarters. Gen Asim Munir reviewed the smartly turned out contingent which was later followed by a detailed meeting with the Commander of PLA. 

“Matters of mutual security interests and military cooperation were discussed. Both military commanders reiterated the need for maintaining peace and stability in the region and enhancing military to military cooperation.”

The army chief also witnessed a demonstration of the operational capabilities of the PLA troops. He praised the high standards of training and the professionalism displayed by the soldiers.

The COAS will hold further meetings with military leaders in China to enhance the long-standing relations between the two militaries. The inaugural meetings are part of the four-days visit to China.
