Pakistan, Malaysia vow stronger defense ties amid evolving regional security challenges
ISLAMABAD: Senior generals from Pakistan and Malaysia on Wednesday vowed to strengthen military-to-military ties in the light of evolving regional and global situation, Pakistan’s military media wing said in a statement.

The discussions took place while Malaysia’s chief of defense forces, General Tan Sri Hj Mohd Nizam bin Hj Jaffar, visited the Joint Staff Headquarters in Pakistan’s Rawalpindi city. There he met General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Pakistan’s chairman joint chiefs of staff committee (CJCSC) and held discussions on the evolving global and regional security environment.
