Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has arrived in China on a four-day official visit, the ISPR said Monday.

“COAS is on a four-day official visit to China for enhancing bilateral military relations,” the Inter-Services Public Relations said.

Earlier, the COAS spent the Eid day with troops deployed along the Pak-Afghan border in Bajaur.

He offered Eid prayer with the officers and troops and appreciated their high morale, ISPR had said.

“For defenders of Pakistan, irrespective of the difficult terrain or weather and despite being away from the loved ones, duty takes precedence and nothing is more sacred than guarding the frontiers of our beloved country,” General Munir said.

In January this year, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir travelled to Saudi Arabia and the UAE on his first official visit abroad since his appointment.
