Australia appreciated Pakistan’s contributions and achievements in the War on Terror and acknowledged sacrifices of the Pakistani nation and its army, the military’s media wing added.
Gen Bajwa also interacted with the dignitaries at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and the Office of National Assessment, both of which advise the Australian government on myriad policy issues.
