Overview
- Pakistan’s ISPR and PMO confirmed meetings in Rawalpindi and Islamabad between Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, Libyan Prime Minister Osama Saad Hammad, and Pakistan’s leadership including Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
- Official readouts said discussions focused on regional security dynamics and avenues for professional military collaboration, with Pakistan reiterating support for Libya’s peace, stability, and institutional development.
- Haftar was received at GHQ with formal honours and laid a wreath at the martyrs’ memorial, reflecting the ceremonial tone of the visit.
- Deputy Commander Saddam Haftar held separate talks with Naval Chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu on maritime security, training, exercises, and broader defence cooperation.
- Multiple outlets, citing a Reuters-seen document, reported a roughly $4 billion package that includes JF-17 fighter jets and Super Mushshak trainers, though the Pakistani statements did not confirm any arms transfer and Libya remains under a UN arms embargo.
