Pakistan Says More Muslim Nations Keen to Join Defense Pact

I see a lot of people talking about expanding, I don't see it expanding anytime soon. It needs to be fortified first and made more structural otherwise it will be useless. The more you add, the more you dilute, and when ground rules and frameworks are not in place, all it creates is spoilers.

The ones who want to join need to understand its the founding 3 who will set the agenda, and they will have to adapt to that framwork, instead of a situation where some new member comes in and starts vetoing stuff and spoiling things.

Are the other army chiefs there for "protocol", ie since Munir was there, the others "had" to be there to ensure protocol is maintained and that Munir as a Army general is not treated higher than his peers and more senior people there ?
