ISLAMABAD, Pakistan News: Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has called on Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani at GHQ on Wednesday.
He discussed with COAS issues relating to ongoing operation against Taliban militants in South Waziristan, enhancing partnership between the two militaries and the overall security situation of the region with focus on Afghanistan.
Mullen seeks to reassure Pakistan’s military and civilian leadership that the Afghanistan surge is part of a long-term commitment to the region – not just a short-term fix. He arrived in Islamabad for his 14th trip as the nation’s top military officer, telling the Pakistani military that the US seeks to reverse years of what one senior official called “mistrust and betrayal”.
