New Delhi: Army Chief MM Naravane has been appointed Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee. The post fell vacant after the tragic death of Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat in the IAF helicopter crash on December 8.
As Naravane is the senior-most among the three service chiefs, so he has been given the charge as the chairman of the committee.
Meanwhile, Army Chief General MM Naravane spoke to Fahd bin Abdullah Al-Mutair, Commander of the Royal Saudi Land Forces, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and discussed issues of bilateral defence ties on Wednesday (December 15).
“General MM Naravane #COAS had telephonic interaction with Lieutenant General Fahd bin Abdullah Al-Mutair, Commander, Royal Saudi Armed Forces, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and discussed issues of bilateral defence cooperation,” tweeted Indian Army on Wednesday.
