General Kiyani visits King Abdullah

Pakistan Chief of Army Staff met with the Saudi King Abdullah, according to The News, Islamabad. Why would the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan call on the Saudi monarch. Isn't there a protocol that should prevent heads of armed forces to meet with the heads of states of other countries, which should be a task left to the elected representatives.
