The ISPR said that the army chief will hold further meetings with military leaders in China to enhance the long-standing relations between the two militaries.
A day earlier, the army chief had kicked off his four-day maiden visit to China, being seen by many as crucial against the backdrop of recent geo-strategic developments.
This is his first visit to China since he assumed the charge as army chief on November 29. For some observers, it is a bit unusual that the army chief’s visit took some time to materialise.
