Austin III hosted Pakistan\u2019s Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir at the Pentagon where the two officials discussed recent regional security developments and potential areas for bilateral defense cooperation.<br \/>\nThe army chief\u2019s visit was also discussed at a Pentagon briefing, where a journalist reminded Patrick Ryder that Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin would have his first face-to-face meeting with Pakistan\u2019s new army chief and asked what the US defence chief was looking for in this meeting.<br \/>\n\u201cWill they be talking about the deportation of Afghans from Pakistan or potentially buying munitions to go to Ukraine?\u201d the journalist asked. Gen Ryder replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have any meetings to read out from the podium.<br \/>\nCertainly, as you know, when the secretary meets with foreign counterparts and leaders, we provide a readout. So, if we have a readout to put out, we\u2019ll certainly do that.\u201d Another journalist asked, \u201cHow would you assess US-Pakistan military relations at this point?\u201d<br \/>\nGen Ryder said, \u201cPakistan continues to be an important partner in the region. And so obviously, through Centcom, we continue to stay in close contact with them, particularly when it comes to issues like counter-terrorism.\u201d General Asim Munir is also expected to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON Chief of the Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir held in-depth talks with US Defence Secretary Lloyd J Austin in Washington with focus on regional security and bilateral defence cooperation.
