RAWALPINDI: Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has stated that, with the nation’s support, the armed forces are fully prepared to safeguard Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security.
A Corps Commanders’ Conference was held under the chairmanship of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir; participants paid glowing tribute to the unparalleled sacrifices of the martyrs.
Field Marshal Asim Munir emphasized the need to continue strengthening intelligence-based operations and directed formations to keep enhancing defense capabilities through the acquisition of modern technology, training, and the integration of all combat domains.
The forum offered *Fateha* for the armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and all those who sacrificed their lives for the motherland.
Participants asserted that any attempt to incite violent anarchy or create situations akin to the events of May 9—under any pretext—would be dealt with decisively; such actions would be met with the full force of the law, applied without hesitation or discrimination. The Taliban leadership alone bears responsibility for the grave consequences of terrorism carried out by acting as a proxy for India.
According to the ISPR, the participants commended the successful intelligence-based counter-terrorism operations conducted by law enforcement agencies, while stressing that—alongside ground operations—robust administrative and governance measures are essential for eradicating terrorism. Participants stated that targeted operations against terrorism originating from Afghanistan are Pakistan’s right to self-defense; they emphasized the need for effective communication with the public regarding the root causes of terrorism and the importance of shaping the narrative. Breaking the nexus between specific elements and terrorist activities is essential to eradicating terrorism.
The Corps Commanders Conference emphasized the need to enhance police capacity and underscored that internal stability is vital for Pakistan.
According to the ISPR, the forum welcomed the joint defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye, describing it as a significant step in fostering long-standing strategic ties and joint defense cooperation.
Participants in the Corps Commanders Conference strongly condemned and expressed indignation over Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia. They reiterated Pakistan’s solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its commitment to the protection and sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques.
The forum maintained that the Kashmir issue should be resolved in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
