Bahrain's army commander calls on COAS: ISPR

Visiting dignitary appreciates Pakistan’s positive role for regional peace and stability

ISLAMABAD: Lieutenant General Sheikh Mohamed Bin Isa Bin Salman Al-Khalifa, Commander of the National Guard of the Kingdom of Bahrain called on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the General Head Quarters (GHQ), Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in statement on Tuesday.

"During the meeting matters of mutual and professional interest and overall regional security situation were discussed," the ISPR said, adding that, "Both sides agreed to further enhance military cooperation between the two countries."



The visiting dignitary also appreciated Pakistan’s positive role for regional peace and stability.

The Pakistan Army on Saturday shot down an Indian spy drone over the Line of Control (LoC), said a statement released by the military’s media wing.

The drone was brought down in the Rakhchikri sector of the heavily militarised zone after it intruded 150 metres into Pakistani territory.

Tensions escalated dramatically between Pakistan and India on February 14 when a young man – a native of Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) – rammed an explosives-laden car into an Indian military convoy, killing at least 44 soldiers.
