Zulfikar Ali Bhutto promoted General Zia-Ul-Haq in part because the Director of ISI, General Gulam Jilani Khan, was actively promoting him. General Zia, in return, retained General Jilani as head of ISI after his scheduled retirement.

Gen. Ghulam Gilani Khan also introduced Nawaz Sharif to Gen. Zia ul Haq (see Nawaz Sharif for details).
