STATE OF PREPAREDNESS
On Friday, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir presided over a special Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) at the General Headquarters (GHQ).
The forum conducted a comprehensive review of the prevailing geo-strategic environment, with particular emphasis on the current Pakistan-India standoff and the broader regional security calculus.
The forum reaffirmed the unflinching resolve of the Pakistan armed forces to uphold the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country against any aggression or misadventure.
The COAS lauded the unwavering professionalism, steadfast morale, and operational preparedness of the armed forces, standing in unity with the people of Pakistan to defend the homeland at all costs. He underscored the critical importance of heightened vigilance and proactive readiness across all fronts.
The forum expressed grave concern over the intensification of Indian atrocities in the occupied Kashmir, particularly in the aftermath of the recent Pahalgam incident, as well as the continued targeting of innocent civilians along the Line of Control (LoC) by Indian occupation forces.
