Top members of the Army vowed to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan against all kinds of direct and indirect threats and re-affirmed that inimical propagandists’ desperate attempts to cause wedge between the state institutions and the public are indicative of their mounting desperation and will only result into more humiliation of such elements, InshaAllah.
During the CCC, participants were also briefed on the prevalent geo-strategic environment, challenges to national security and own strategy in response to the evolving threat.
Gen Asim and top generals expressed the resolve that all militants, their facilitators and abettors, working on the behest of hostile forces to destabilise Pakistan will be dealt with full might of the state.
The press release also mentioned that the need for speedy development of economic potential of Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) and Border Districts of Balochistan for sustainable peace and growth was also emphasised.
Army Chief stressed on maintaining high standards of professionalism and motivation during operations and achieving excellence during training of the formations.
