Islamabad, Dec. 17 (TNS): Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa will brief the Parliamentary body on Tuesday, a press release issued by the Senate said.
The Senate Committee of the Whole House will begin its meeting at 10 AM and according to a notice, the COAS and DG Military Operations would brief members on the emerging national security paradigm for Pakistan with respect to recent visits and developments.
The Committee of the Whole House was constituted ‘to prepare policy guidelines in light of the emerging regional realities and the role of the United States.’
The relations between Pakistan and the United States have suffered over the past few months, after US President Donald Trump, in a fiery speech back in August, accused Pakistan of offering a ‘safe haven’ to terrorists as he announced a revised policy towards the Afghan war.
Pakistan also strongly condemned Trump’s recent decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
