A day ago, the prime minister had sought a defence ministry summary for the appointment of the new army chief, along with the service dossiers of all prospe­ctive candidates, as the government seems set to name outgoing Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s successor by Friday.

The former president, who arrived here at the PM House, was welcomed by the Prime Minister, a press release issued by the PM Media Wing said.
