COAS Meets Saudi Crown Prince, Discusses Defence Cooperation

General Syed Asim Munir, NI(M), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), is on an official visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During this visit, the Chief of Army Staff met Crown Prince and Prime Minister His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman, who warmly welcomed General Asim Munir upon his arrival at the Royal Palace.

The two dignitaries engaged in a comprehensive discussion on various issues of mutual interest, including regional peace, defence and security cooperation, and strategies for enhancing bilateral relations.

COAS expressed his gratitude to His Royal Highness for his steadfast support for Pakistan and acknowledged his significant role in fostering peace and stability across the region.

COAS also separately met with Prince Khalid Bin Salman, Defence Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Dignitaries vowed to further strengthen cooperation in the domain of defence and security.

Meetings were also held with H.E Engineer Talal Abdullah Al-Otaibi, Assistant Minister of Defence; Air Chief Marshal Fayyadh Bin Hamed Bin Raqeeb’ Al Ruwaili, Chief of General Staff of Royal Saudi Armed Forces and H.E Lieutenant General Fahad bin Saud Al-Johani, Chief of Royal Saudi Land Forces.

The meeting came days after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the kingdom, where he attended the eighth session of the Future Investment Initiative (FII).

The premier also met Mohammed bin Salman as both leaders took stock of the ongoing bilateral engagements, especially in follow-up to the decisions taken in previous high-level meetings held in Makkah and Riyadh in April.

During PM’s visit, the kingdom announced adding another $600 million to its recently pledged $2.2 billion investment in Pakistan.

Last month, Islamabad and Riyadh inked several memorandums of understanding (MoUs), worth over $2 billion, to boost bilateral trade and investment during the Islamabad visit of a Saudi delegation, headed by Minister for Investment Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al-Falih.
