Raheel Sharif disembarking the aircraft. -Geo NewsLAHORE: Former army chief General (retd) Raheel Sharif arrived in Lahore on Friday.
The former army chief left for his residence soon after landing. He arrived onboard a private aircraft.
The crew of the aircraft were lodged in a local hotel.
Earlier in April, Sharif departed for Riyadh on Friday after the federal government granted him permission to head a military alliance of Muslim countries led by Saudi Arabia.
With a Joint Comand Centre headquartered in Riyadh, the coalition includes Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Sudan, Malaysia, Egypt, Yemen and other Muslim countries.
Saudi Arabia says the alliance, which noticeably lacks the presence of Iran, will "coordinate and support military operations to fight terrorism".
The coalition would tackle "the Islamic world's problem with terrorism and will be a partner in the worldwide fight against this scourge," Saudi defence minister and deputy crown prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud had said at a press conference in Riyadh in 2015.
