According to the Asif, the discussion has also drawn international attention to longtime Indian-Pakistani conflicts, in particular the situation in cashmere.
“This is the success of the current hybrid model of governance,” he added, referring to the political-military coordination under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Coas Munir.
“The rebirth of the economy, the diplomatic setbacks of India and the worthy and successful improvement of relations with the United States – all these revolutionary changes have been made possible due to the strong coordination between Islamabad and Rawalpindi.”
