Iraq to buy arms from Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: A former Pakistani army general has claimed Iraq wants to buy arms and ammunition from Pakistan.
Israr Ghumman had met with a five-member defense delegation in Pakistan.
We are already supplying Iraq with armored M-113-P personnel cars and Talah to the Iraqi armed forces, he told Arab News. Now the Iraqi Army wants to buy different caliber ammunition including mortars from Pakistan.
The delegation, headed by the director of the Iraqi Armys training and evaluation wing, Maj. Gen. Abbas Fizza, is currently in Pakistan to explore areas where the two countries can cooperate with each other in areas of defense.
Officials say that the possibility of Iraqi servicemen receiving army and naval training was also discussed.
