According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the Chief of Army Staff, described Tuesday’s Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conference as a “historic development for bringing the international community together around a shared vision and strategy for resolving emerging challenges critical to peace and stability,” according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Al-Saud is the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). COAS met with him, according to a short statement from the military.
