COAS, PM discuss security challenges

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asmi Munir met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the Prime Minister’s house Wednesday.

The COAS felicitated the PM and expressed his best wishes to the latter for assuming office as the country’s 24th chief executive.

During their maiden meeting the duo mulled over the army’s operational and security-related matters.

It is worth mentioning here that Shehbaz was elected as the prime minister on Sunday, for the second time.

He was at the post for 16 months from April 2022 to August 2023.

The younger brother of Nawaz Sharif secured the top office after receiving 201 votes against his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) opponent Omar Ayub Khan who got 92 votes.
