On Monday, Indonesian naval chief Dr Muhammad Ali met with Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir. During the meeting, Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing military ties with Indonesia, focusing on areas such as professional training, defense collaboration, and joint exercises.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with their existing military-to-military relations and agreed to strengthen cooperation further, particularly in defense and security spheres.

Field Marshal Munir also received Lebanon's Minister of Interior and Municipalities Ahmad Al Hajjar during his recent visit to Pakistan. Both sides discussed regional security and prospective cooperation in the security domain, with Hajjar expressing gratitude for Pakistan's role in regional peace and stability and acknowledging the professionalism of Pakistani armed forces in the fight against terrorism.
