RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Friday said the national cohesion and unified response to guard and promote Pakistan’s national interests were imperative for progress.
The COAS visited the National Defence University (NDU) and delivered a talk to the participants of 24th National Security Workshop and spoke on various challenges to national security and response measures, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said.
While talking to the participants, the Army Chief said, “Pakistan has faced many challenges but came out stronger every time. Our fight against terrorism is one such example which only succeeded due to the united nation’s approach.”
The COAS emphasized that peace and stability could only be achieved if rule of law and state writ were established.
Earlier, Army Chief General Bajwa reiterated his determination to quit the post at the end of his extended term in five weeks.
A private television channel quoted the Army Chief as saying that he has taken the decision of stepping down and this would be evident in the coming days.
He was also quoted as saying that now, the Army would not play any role in politics.
