Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that due to timely steps for western zone border management, Pakistan’s borders are secure.
The army chief said this while talking to a delegation comprising members of Parliamentary Kashmir Committee and Defence Committees of the Senate and National Assembly, who visited the General Headquarters (GHQ) on Monday, said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
General Bajwa said, “Due to our timely steps for western zone border management, Alhamdolillah today despite challenges, Pakistan’s borders are secure and we are prepared to meet any situation.” The army chief said that armed forces, with support of the nation, have achieved unprecedented successes in fight against terrorism and bringing normalcy in the country.
Alluding to the benefits of regional connectivity, the COAS highlighted the importance of restoration of peace in Afghanistan for sustainable development of the region.
He reiterated Pakistan Army’s support and commitment to Kashmir cause and people of Kashmir. “The world must know that without a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue, peace and stability will remain elusive,” the COAS reiterated.
The delegation was given a detailed briefing on the security environment, including the situation on the borders and Pakistan Army’s efforts for peace and stability. The delegation had an exhaustive interactive session with General Bajwa that concluded with resolve to continue the struggle against violent extremism through a synergetic whole-of-the-nation approach, said the ISPR.
