COAS and International visits

How many has he had so far? 3 or 4?

Sri Lanka
Indonesia
and I believe Italy now?

Who pays for all of this and why does he need to go on his own without government representatives?

Re: COAS and International visits

It is duty of Nawaz Sharif's Government to clarify this as these are genuine concerns. How much money is wasted in such useless visits should be audited by Auditor general of Pakistan.

Army snubs Pentagon report on Pakistan - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

MIR ALI: The Pakistan Army has taken strong exception to a recent report by the US Defence Department which accused Pakistan of using “proxy forces to hedge against the loss of influence in Afghanistan and to counter India’s superior military”.

Pakistan has already summoned US Ambassador Richard Olson to the Foreign Office to convey concerns over the report earlier this month.

The country’s protest over what the Foreign Office called “unwarranted comments” had been conveyed by the Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz to the US ambassador at the Foreign Ministry.

Briefing reporters from both national and international media at the army headquarters in Mir Ali, North Waziristan on Saturday, Major General Zafarullah Khan Khattak termed the report “baseless, malicious, demoralising and contrary to ground realities”.

“There is no such thing [happening here as is] mentioned in the Pentagon report. Pakistan army is not using militants anywhere for so called proxy wars,” said the senior army officer.

Re: COAS and International visits

so COAS of other countries never tour any country? i think they do.

Re: COAS and International visits

Its almost clear now that Army is calling shots in foreign policy at least with regard to US, India and Afghanistan. Aaab jub foreign policy chalaeen gai, tu visits tu kerney pareen gai.

btw, I am sure some of these visits are on the invitation from host country so they take care of bills for at least 2-3 people. I don't think COAS travel with whole entourages like our badshah PMs. I agree though that in ideal democracy, COAS tours should be restricted to professional tours.

Re: COAS and International visits

The army chiefs’ visiting other countries is not an alien thing, even a not-so-military-dominant-country army chief visits so many countries:

Regardless of India and the fuss it is making, you must sign a military pact with Pakistan because you are seriously concerned about the stability of the world’s largest Islamic state since our mullah is the best antidote Russian communism. Once military aid starts flowing, the first people you arm are these mullahs. They would also need American-made rosaries and prayer-mats, not to forget small stones that they use to soak up the after-drops following a call of nature. Cut-throat razors and scissors should be top of the list, as well as American hair-color lotions… If this gang of mullahs is armed in the American style, the Soviet Union that hawks communism and socialism in our country will have to shut shop.

Re: COAS and International visits

Such visits are important for army chief so that he can evaluate world opinion. It is possible that he is going to be Pakistan chief executive in a year time.

COAS is looking seriously the way thugs are running and destroying the country, and most Pakistanis are waiting when conscious of COAS would wake and he would pay the worth of his wage that poor Pakistanis are giving him to make sure country stay safe from outside aggression, terrorists attacking from inside, and also from thugs harming Pakistan with their nepotism, victimization, mismanagement, loot, and plunder.

What's wrong with international visits? Does he bring a big contingent with him? Do his children accompany him?

At least he's not visiting his chateaus in France and London.
