Musharraf then met General Tariq Majid, the officer he appointed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee last month, and discussed military matters. He also went to the naval and air force headquarters in Islamabad and thanked the chiefs of the two services for their support.
The defence ministry is expected to formally notify Musharraf's retirement as army chief only after he is sworn in as a civilian president by Supreme Court Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar on Thursday.
During recent interactions with the press, Musharraf has asserted that he has the complete support of the powerful 5,00,000-strong army and that the military would continue to back him even after he took off his uniform.
