#3 the sources said, adding that the previous agreement was revised on Pakistans request after the Zimbabwe government asked Islamabad for provision of six flight instructors.

The sources said that Pakistan agreed to provide technical assistance and training facilities to Zimbabwean armed force and signed an agreement in this regard on April 29, 1983.The revised agreement would ensure better conditions to our troops on deputation because the terms and conditions under the 22-year-old agreement were not feasible keeping in view the increased cost of living, the sources said. The new agreement will be renewable after every five years and will extend automatically until one of the two parties requests for changes or termination of the agreement, the sources added.

Given the "cost of living" in Zimbabwe, it must really suck to be a Paki flight instructor.
