RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir received a warm and dignified welcome as on the inaugural day of his official visit to the United Kingdom where he will participate in the 7th Regional Stabilization Conference at the esteemed Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the welcome, including a ceremonial Guard of Honour, was presented at the historic Royal Horse Guards Parade Ground, presented by an impeccably turned-out contingent.

COAS will deliver the keynote address on "The Emerging World Order and Pakistan's Future Outlook". The Stabilization Conference serves as the premier platform for Army-to-Army dialogue between Pakistan and the United Kingdom, held annually to foster collaboration.

The event brings together a balanced representation of policymakers, both civil and military, as well as members of prominent think tanks from both nations.

This year's conference holds particular significance in light of the rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, providing an invaluable opportunity to exchange perspectives and explore pathways for enhanced bilateral cooperation.

During his visit, the COAS will engage with key members of the UK's civil and military leadership to discuss matters of mutual interest. His engagements will include meetings with Adm Toney Radikon, Chief of Defence Staff UK, General Sir Roland Walker, Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, and Mr. Jonathan Nicholas Powell, the UK National Security Advisor.

Furthermore, the COAS will hold discussions with Ms. Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary, to address shared challenges and underscore the importance of fostering deeper collaboration.
