During the 259th Corps Commanders' Conference (CCC) held at GHQ and presided over by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir, Pakistan's top military leaders reaffirmed their dedication to thwarting the efforts of adversarial propagandists who are desperately attempting to create discord between state institutions and the public. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the conference also paid tribute to the sacrifices made by martyrs, including armed forces personnel, law enforcement agencies, and citizens who sacrificed their lives for the safety, security, and territorial integrity of Pakistan.
At the conference, Fateha was offered for the martyrs, and it was reiterated that Pakistan's State and Armed Forces would continue to hold martyrs and their families in the highest regard, honoring them with utmost respect and dignity. The commemorations of Defence and Martyrs Day on September 6, celebrated nationwide by all segments of society, were commended, and the armed forces expressed their gratitude to the nation for this display of solidarity.
During the conference, participants emphasized the Pakistan Army's determination to defend the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity against all direct and indirect threats. They highlighted that the desperate attempts by adversarial propagandists to divide state institutions and the public only demonstrate their increasing desperation and will ultimately lead to their humiliation.
Furthermore, attendees were briefed on the current geo-strategic environment, national security challenges, and the country's strategy in response to evolving threats. The conference resolved that all terrorists, their facilitators, and supporters, working on behalf of hostile forces to destabilize Pakistan, would face the full force of the state.
Additionally, the conference underscored the need for rapid development of the economic potential in the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) and Border Districts of Balochistan to ensure sustainable peace and growth. COAS stressed the importance of maintaining high standards of professionalism and motivation during operations and achieving excellence in training formations.
The conference also commended commanders for their unwavering focus on the well-being of soldiers and the maintenance of morale, which is crucial for the Army's operational readiness. It reiterated full support for ongoing efforts to boost socio-economic growth through the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and pledged wholehearted assistance to the government in curbing all illegal activities that hinder economic stability, growth, and investor confidence.
