ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani met with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani at the Prime Minister House on Wednesday, DawnNews reported.
Matters relating to defence and security came under discussion during the meeting.
The meeting also discussed the regional situation and US-Pakistan relations in the light of parliamentary recommendations.
Earlier last week, US officials visited Pakistan for talks on rebuilding ties but left without agreement.
The parliament had asked for Washington to apologise for killing 24 Pakistani border troops last November.
The United States has expressed regret, but has declined to say it is sorry.
The meeting comes in the wake of Gilani’s conviction on contempt of court charges by the Supreme Court and subsequent opposition calls for his resignation.
