General Sir Richard Dannatt, Chief of General Staff UK Armed Forces called on General Tariq Majid, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee at Joint Staff Headquarters on Monday and discussed matters relating to enhancement of bilateral military co-operation in diverse fields between the two countries.
Expressing satisfaction on the ongoing military to military co-operation, both sides agreed to further expand the scope of these ties to the mutual benefit of the two countries.
Discussing "War on Terror" in the region, both were of the view that this could only be dealt effectively through collaborative efforts of the comity of nations with full commitment and resolve.
The CJCSC highlighted that "we have made good progress in our efforts. The recent peaceful elections in the country and transition of power to the elected representatives will create harmony in civil-military relations and facilitate mobilisation of a broad based political consensus to support the efforts for counter terrorism". Earlier on arrival at Joint Staff Headquarters, the distinguished guests were warmly received by Major General Bilal Umar, Director General Operations and Plans of the Joint Staff Headquarters.
