Army’s veterans the other day under the arrangement of the Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society (PESS) held Armed Forces Zindabad Rally to express their support for Pakistan Armed Forces and their top leadership.
Speaking on the occasion, the speakers enumerated the achievements and sacrifices of the armed forces in the defense of the homeland. They also highlighted the performance of the armed forces in different fields of national development, in natural calamities and floods, and paid tributes to soldiers for their dedication, sacrifices, and hard work.
They said recently Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman bin Abdul-Aziz conferred the medal upon COAS General Bajwa in recognition of his significant contributions to defense cooperation between the two countries.
