RAWALPINDI: Commander of the Qatar Emiri Guard Major General Hazza bin Khalil Muhammad Al-Shahwani called on Chief of Army Staff General (COAS) Qamar Javed Bajwa at the General Headquarters on Monday.

During the meeting, matters of mutual and professional interest as well as regional security situation were discussed.

The visiting dignitary appreciated the professionalism of the Pakistan Army and expressed his desire for increased Pakistan-Qatar defence collaboration.

Earlier today, the Qatar Emiri Guard commander along with a delegation called on President Arif Alvi.

Speaking on the occasion, the president asked Qatar to support Pakistan in its endeavors to highlight Indian human rights violations in occupied Kashmir before the world as well as to resolve the dispute amicably.

He said the fascist Indian regime is flagrantly violating the human rights of Kashmiris by revoking the special status of occupied Kashmir and by suspending their civil liberties. He added the BJP-led Indian government has adopted a hostile attitude towards all its minorities.

Don’t get caught up in stupid protocol. We will do it the way we do it and not the way Indians do it. We don’t grow up with a rigid caste system like the Indians.

No not at all, but surely there are 2-3 star Pakistani generals more suited then COAS taking time out to meet a relatively junior general. I agree we should not be rigid but why not just keep important meetings to ouyr major allies?

I am greatful for the day that any US ambassador or visiting general or diplomat does not get an automatic meeting with the PM or COAS anymore. We fell over ourselves to meet any ranking foreigner. Not a great look....

Depends on the role and size of the military. Small armies don’t have equivalent ranks. This guy has a very important role in Qatari context and is getting the appropriate attention. And also nothing wrong with Ambassador and diplomats meeting the PM and the President. That is what diplomats and Ambassadors do.
