Jakarta, (IINA) - Indonesia\s Coordinating Minister for Political, Security and Legal Affairs Wiranto met with the commander of Pakistan’s armed forces, General Rashad Mahmood, here on Tuesday to discuss defense cooperation, including the exchange of information and defense equipment.
"We have also offered our defense equipment to them, including the Anoa armored vehicle, assault rifle, and CN-235 aircraft," Wiranto said after the meeting. The cooperation between Indonesia and Pakistan has been ongoing for years, marked by an exchange of staff school students and commanders of the army, navy and air force, as well as staff members of the National Defense Institute.
"Relations between the armies of the two countries are very close. General Rashad Mahmood has asked for maintaining and developing that relationship," he said.
