RAWALPINDI: Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has rejected the speculations on social media regarding Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir alleged unannounced visit to the United States.
“There have been baseless speculations on social media that COAS is visiting USA,” the military’s media wing said in a series of tweets, as it put an end to speculations.
The ISPR added that the army chief is on an official visit to the United Kingdom (UK) from 5 to 10 February in connection with the 5th Pakistan-UK Stabilization Conference.
Which is a bi-annual event for military to military cooperation between the two countries. Senior Pakistan military leadership has been participating in the event since 2016.

The visit is seen as highly important in view of the rising issue of Taliban militancy and the situation in the South Asian region. This is Gen Munir’s first visit to the UK after taking over as Pakistan’s powerful army chief at the end of November last year.
