ISI chief’s visit had nothing to do with military aid: ISPR
RAWALPINDI: ISPR Director General Maj Gen Athar Abbas on Saturday said that the US visit of ISI Director General Ahmed Shujaa Pasha was to discuss intelligence, coordination, and it had nothing to do with the resumption of US military aid. Talking to a local news agency, Abbas said that this matter was not even on the agenda of the visit. He further said that the ISI director general had one-on-one meeting with the CIA Acting Director Michael Morrel. He said that the range of intelligence issues was discussed in a congenial environment to improve mutual understanding. Contrary to the speculative reporting in a section of the press, neither there were doubts raised nor aspersions cast on the functioning of the ISI. Both sides focused more on the way forward, he added. app
