Gen Asim Munir, CENTOM chief Kurilla discuss regional security

Washington: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir held a meeting with CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla at Tampa Bay Headquarters Central Command in Florida, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Tuesday.

During the meeting matters of shared interests, particularly cooperation in regional security matters, came under discussion.

“Both sides discussed avenues of joint training and reiterated the need for enhancing training interactions between CENTCOM and Pakistan Army,” said Pak Army’s media wing in the statement.

Earlier, the army chief held meetings with top US officials including Secretary of State Antony J Blinken, Secretary of Defence General (retd) Llyod J Austin, Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer and Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q Brown during the visit.

Gen Munir landed in the US last week on his maiden official visit to the country since assuming office in November last year.
