This is very good development. But plz do focus on economic ties with Germany and EU apart from mil equipment. Germany has very strong industry and they can surely help Pakistan in energy crisis.

Why are are political leaders not talking to Germany, and instead we have our army leader doing this? Such an approach inevitably leads to too much focus on security and military issues and not enough on economic and social issues.

Nice trips to Europe before retirement. However, no point seems in this visit except to enjoy the nice weather and surroundings of Germany and Czech Republic.

@sher ahmed: I think economy is not his job. Well if he can do that will be great but then that will be a distraction from his original job.
