ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army and the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF) this week concluded a joint military training exercise in the eastern city of Multan that was aimed at enhancing their military capabilities and exchanging expertise, the Pakistani military said on Tuesday.
The exercise continued from January 15 to February 26 with a view to foster joint employment techniques and benefiting from each other’s experiences, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Pakistani military’s media wing.
“The training, which encompassed conventional as well as sub-conventional operations, culminated with field maneuver and battle inoculation exercise, employing air and ground forces,” the ISPR said in a statement.
The commander of Pakistan Army’s Multan Corps witnessed the exercise as the chief guest and expressed his satisfaction over mutual understanding and the training standards achieved, according to the ISPR.

The two nations regularly engage in joint air, ground, and sea military exercises, while several cadets from the Kingdom, along with counterparts from other Middle Eastern nations, annually visit Pakistan to undergo specialized military training.
The joint exercise that concluded in Multan further consolidated longstanding fraternal relations between Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the ISPR added.
