The ISPR said that during the meeting, both the leaders also agreed to boost defence cooperation between the two courtiers.

The CENTCOM Chief lauded the sacrifices rendered by the Pakistan army in the war against terror and operational gains in Zarb-e-Azb which has resulted in an effective degradation of terrorist networks.

Earlier on his arrival at the GHQ, General Lloyd Austin laid floral wreath on ‘Yadgar-e-Shuhada’ and lauded sacrifices of Pakistan’s armed forces in war on terror.

The CENTCOM Chief has arrived in Pakistan on a two-day official visit and will also meet with the US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday.
