9 hours ago BY APP

A Pakistani contingent, drawn from three services, is likely to represent the country at a military parade being held in Beijing, China on September 3, paying tribute to World War II.
The contingent, consisting of 75 officers and soldiers, was selected on the basis of professionalism and performance in their respective units.
The contingent has been in Beijing for the past two weeks and is undergoing constant training and rehearsal for the parade.
According to reports, a total of 17 countries will be participating in the parade.
“The officers, during their stay in Beijing have learnt a lot through training,” leader of troops, Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Tayyab, in an interview with China Radio International said.

Minsk Close to a Major Deal with Pakistan?

During a recent visit by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, President Lukashenka emphasised the importance of defence cooperation with Pakistan. On 5-12 August, the Pakistani delegation headed by the Federal Minister for Defense Production Rana Tanveer Hussain visited Belarus. They participated in the 1st Meeting of the Joint Belarus-Pakistani Commission on Military Technical Cooperation.

Belarus-Pakistani defence cooperation has progressed for at least two years. The parties signed an intergovernmental agreement on military technical cooperation in Islamabad on 29 May 2015.

Tanveer Hussain visited Belarus for the first time in July 2014, and after that contacts between Belarusian and Pakistani defence officials continued. The two countries undoubtedly are working on some major deal, which is very likely to involve Pakistan's ability to modernise mechanised armour.

Pakistan bought a large quantity of Soviet tanks from Ukraine in the 1990s. Belarus provides sophisticated electronic and optic components for similar Russian tanks, so Pakistan may turn to Minsk for them. Another possibility is Minsk providing a comprehensive upgrade program for the Pakistani tanks now as their Ukrainian manufacturers have collapsed.
