Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir begins two-day visit to Turkiye

Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in Turkiye on Monday for a two-day official visit. State media reported that Munir received a warm welcome upon his arrival.

During his stay, CDF Munir is scheduled to engage in important discussions with Turkiye's military and political leadership. These meetings are expected to cover key aspects of bilateral relations and regional security dynamics.

The visit underscores the ongoing defense cooperation between Pakistan and Turkiye. Last month, General Metin Tokel, commander of the Turkish Land Forces, visited Pakistan and met with CDF Munir. Their discussions focused on regional security and enhancing bilateral defense ties. General Tokel also met with Pakistan's naval and air chiefs during that visit.

This trip by the Pakistani military chief follows Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's recent visit to Turkiye, which primarily centered on economic and trade cooperation.
