Islamabad, Pakistan – Pakistan’s new army chief has held talks with top Saudi officials, including the defence minister, on his first official trip to the Gulf kingdom as the South Asian country faces an unprecedented economic crisis.
General Syed Asim Munir, who took charge in November, has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors in visiting Saudi Arabia – a close defence and economic ally – on his maiden overseas trip. He will also visit the United Arab Emirates during the nearly one-week trip.

I think ksa has allowed pak to use its reserves. That's why pak reserves are now below 5. But no new amount was announced. So not a good sign.

The COAS should have just said no.

Not his Job description to go ask for loans tbh.

This needs to change.

Pakistan’s foreign reserves stood dangerously low at $4.5 billion on Friday, which is insufficient even for a month’s import cover. This has prompted what seem to be last ditch efforts by the country’s civilian and military leadership to rally economic support from allied nations and stave off an economic default. Sources are also reporting that Pakistan has less than two weeks’ worth of petroleum reserves left. If true, this would mean that unless serious financial help is on its way soon, Pakistan could experience an economic meltdown like that of Sri Lanka.

Ye sab daraney wali game hai.

Lets hope the Saudis see through it and tell the Chief to solve his own country issues.

Maybe the rule cure is bankruptcy. One cannot keep living beyond their means.

It must be noted that any attempt at economic recovery, or restoring stability and certainty, have come to naught mainly due to former prime minister Imran Khan’s populist challenge to the incumbent coalition government. Khan has left no stone unturned in depriving the government of any legitimacy, since his own ouster in a no-confidence vote last year in April.

I like how the PDM-Pakistan Army are trying to pin the blame on Imran Khan for their decisions. They will not own the consequences of their decision(but i guess no one in Pakistan does ).

The economic chief of army staff. LOL failed country.

Now you understand that the Pakistani army is part of the problem.

Now you understand that the Pakistani army is part of the problem.

These generals are the reason why we lost half of our country in 1971. These fuc*ers have not learned ever since. The bastard Bajwa should be hanged to death for his role in regime change operation. Make a example out of that bastard.

In which country does a military chief go on foreign tours to beg for money?
