Brazilian military delegation and Pakistan's defence chief pledge deeper cooperation

Brazil sent a high-level delegation, led by Admiral Renato Rodrigues De Aguiar Freire, chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to Pakistan's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. There, they conferred with Field Marshal Asim Munir, chief of defence forces and army staff, discussing mutual security concerns and ways to boost defence cooperation. The two commanders expressed satisfaction with the historic cordiality between Brazil and Pakistan and committed to expanding joint military activities.

Munir reaffirmed Pakistan's dedication to deepening defence ties, while Freire praised the professionalism of the Pakistani armed forces. The admiral received a tri-service guard of honour upon arrival, reflecting the significance of the visit. The encounter builds on earlier outreach, such as the 2018 visit by Brazil's ambassador to Peshawar that sought to enhance trade and establish a joint chamber of commerce.
