Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir on Thursday reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening defence ties with Jordan.
The chief of defence forces made these remarks in a meeting with the Chairman of the Jordanian Joint Chiefs of Staff, Major General Yousef Ahmed Al Huneiti.
The meeting took place at the General Headquarters, where the pair discussed matters of mutual interest and regional security dynamics, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening defence ties with Jordan and emphasised the importance of collaborative efforts to address evolving security challenges,” the statement read.
“The visiting dignitary [Maj Gen Al Huneiti] appreciated the professionalism of the Pakistan armed forces and lauded their contributions towards regional peace and stability.”
The ISPR said that the meeting concluded with a shared resolve between Field Marshal Munir and Maj Gen Al Huneiti to further deepen military cooperation between the two brotherly countries.
On Nov 16, Field Marshal Munir reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to further enhancing military-to-military cooperation with Jordan and jointly realising the mutual vision of a stable and peaceful region, according to the military’s media affairs wing.
The army chief also underscored the “strong defence partnership” between Pakistan and the Hashemite Kingdom — the royal family of Jordan — during an official visit undertaken by Jordan’s King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein.
