PESHAWAR: Amid rising terror incidents in Pakistan, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Friday reiterated the army’s firm resolve to eradicate the illegal spectrum undermining national security, a statement from the military’s media wing said.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), he expressed this resolve during his visit to Peshawar as a follow-up to the National Apex Committee meeting held last Tuesday and a prelude to the provincial apex committee meeting.
Highlighting the collective determination of the nation and its security forces to combat terrorism, the army chief stressed thwarting the nefarious designs of inimical elements remains a top priority.
He assured that through synchronised and robust operations, the Pakistan Army in collaboration with law enforcement agencies will “relentlessly hunt down the enemies of peace to ensure lasting stability and security.”
During his visit, Gen Munir was provided a comprehensive briefing on the prevailing security situation and the progress of ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and field commanders were also present on the occasion.
Paying profound tribute to the martyrs and “ghazis”, COAS emphasised the unparalleled sacrifices being rendered for the defence of the motherland. He remarked that these sacrifices serve as a cornerstone of national resilience, inspiring and unwavering dedication of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies.
He also commended the high morale, operational readiness, and unyielding commitment of the troops in effectively countering all forms of threats.
