A week ago, CDF Munir was in Iran to attend Iran’s late supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s funeral alongside Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The visit comes a month after Turkish Land Forces Commander General Metin Tokel called upon CDF Munir at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. General Tokel had expressed his commitment to further enhancing defence cooperation and institutional linkages between the armed forces of the two brotherly nations.
General Tokel also called on Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf and the Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu.
CDF Munir visited Tehran in May as part of Pakistan’s mediation efforts between the United States and Iran. During the visit, he met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.
CDF Munir has played a central role in facilitating dialogue between Washington and Tehran, with Pakistan helping broker a temporary ceasefire and subsequent negotiations between the two sides.
