Musharraf for close cooperation in defence with UAE
2005-08-04
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s President General Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday called for increased cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan in defence production. He said this while talking to the UAE chief of staff, Lieutenant-General Hamad Mohammad Tahni Al Rumeithi, who met him in Rawalpindi.

There has been close cooperation between the armed forces of Pakistan and the UAE in the areas of military training and education. The UAE is also one of the potential buyers of Pakistani small arms and ammunition, manufactured in just about every nook and cranny at the country’s premier Ordnance Factories, located some 30 kilometers south of Islamabad.

Cadets and officers from the UAE army, navy and air force regularly attend training courses at Pakistani military academies and the National Defence College.
'cause there's just no better training anywhere. ... 'specially in infiltration ... ... and subverting and compromising gummint officials ... ... and Quran reading ... ... and duplicity, don't forget duplicity ...
“There is a need to further strengthen ties between the two countries in the fields of defence and defence production,” an official statement issued after the meeting quoted President Musharraf as telling General Al Rumeithi.

Al-Rumeithi, presently on an official visit to Pakistan, also met naval chief Admiral Shahid Karimullah and vice chief of army staff General Ahsan Saleem Hayat and discussed ways to boost cooperation between armed forces of the two countries.
