HAFR AL-BATIN: Heads of state from across the Muslim world gathered in Saudi Arabia on Friday for the conclusion of a nearly three-week-long counter-terrorism military exercise that included 20 participating countries.

The prime minister, along with leaders of the other participating nations, watched the contingents march past the stage, a press release from the PM House said.

Pakistan’s fighter aircraft performed aerobatics, including a performance by two JF-17 Thunders and the Sherdil formation with its eight Karakoram-8 aircraft.

SSG Commandos performed free fall exercises. They jumped from helicopters, carrying flags of the countries participating in the exercise.
