RAWALPINDI: The country’s military leadership reaffirmed its resolve that the Pakistan Army, with the unwavering support of the people, will not allow the hard-earned successes against terrorism to be undone.
This pledge was renewed during the Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC), presided over by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir, held at General Headquarters (GHQ).
Participants offered Fateha and paid profound tribute to the ultimate sacrifices made by the martyrs of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and civilians who laid down their lives in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in pursuit of peace and stability for Pakistan.
The Corps Commanders’ Conference was briefed on the prevailing geo-strategic environment, national security challenges, and strategic and operational responses to emerging threats.
In evaluating the inimical forces, malicious actors, subversive proxies, and facilitators of Pakistan’s external and internal adversaries, particularly those active in Balochistan and KP, the forum deliberated on a range of measures to neutralize these threats.
It emphasized that the Army is a disciplined institution, upholding the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and loyalty to the state and the institution.
“The institution’s well-established and rigorous system of accountability ensures that these values are preserved with unwavering commitment, allowing no room for exceptions or partiality. This strict adherence to accountability fortifies the Army’s integrity, ensuring that no individual is above the law or exempt from scrutiny,” the participants of the CCC deliberated.
Recognizing the urgency and significance of a robust and effective legal system, the COAS emphasized that the Pakistan Army would continue to extend comprehensive support to the government, administrative apparatus, and law enforcement agencies in taking swift and lawful action against terrorists, anarchists, and criminal mafias. The forum also expressed satisfaction with ongoing efforts against illegal elements operating in collusion with terrorist networks, he added.
The critical need to safeguard national cyberspace through stringent cybersecurity measures was also underscored, the COAS resolved.
In a show of solidarity with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK), who continue to suffer gross human rights violations, the forum honored the martyrs of the Freedom Movement. The COAS added that the continued violence and genocide of Palestinians by Israel were also condemned in the strongest terms.
The forum expressed confidence in the operational preparedness and readiness of the Pakistan Army and vowed to continue upholding these standards in the pursuit of professional excellence.
