As a goodwill gesture, the Pakistan Army handed over military equipment to the Republic of Maldives in a simple but graceful ceremony at the Central Ordnance Depot on Thursday. Maj Gen Shaukat Iqbal handed over the goods to Ms Ayesha, the Maldivian High Commissioner in Pakistan. Diplomatic staff and military officials from both countries were also present on the occasion.
The high commissioner thanked the people and the armed forces of Pakistan for the generous gesture of friendship. She expressed her desire that bilateral ties based on mutual affinity between both the South Asian nations should contribute towards lasting peace in the region.
