Rawalpindi, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Syed Asim Munir, visited the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where he met Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud to discuss the evolving security situation in the region.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the two leaders reviewed the security challenges arising from reported drone and missile attacks attributed to Iran against the Kingdom.

The meeting focused on possible joint measures to address the situation within the framework of the strategic mutual defence cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
