The meeting comes at a time when the prime minister is set to make his first major appointment in the army.
PM Khan will soon appoint a new head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) after the incumbent chief of the country’s premier spy agency, Lt-Gen Naveed Mukhtar is set to retire this month.
Following his retirement, the prime minister would appoint a new DG ISI. Although there is no official word yet, the incoming ISI chief is likely to be picked from the recently-promoted major generals to the rank of lieutenant generals.
