Indian military posture: Country cannot be coerced: Field Marshal

ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, on Thursday, reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering resolve to defeat any aggression, particularly in the face of India’s increasingly dangerous military posture, while calling for the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute and cautioning against India’s hydro-terrorism tactics.

Addressing student officers and faculty during his visit to Command and Staff College Quetta, the Army Chief warned that Pakistan will not be coerced and vowed to comprehensively defeat any designs aimed at derailing Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts. He emphasised the need for strategic stability in the region and strongly condemned India’s sponsorship of terrorism within Pakistan.

Paying homage to the martyrs of Operation “Bunyanum Marsoos”, Field Marshal Munir praised the professionalism of Pakistan’s Armed Forces and highlighted national unity as the cornerstone of the country’s defence. He described the operation’s success as evidence of strong national resolve and complete coordination among all elements of national power.

In his address, the COAS also shed light on the evolving nature of global and regional conflicts and stressed the importance of agility and innovation in preparing for future battlefields. Urging student officers to remain committed and forward-thinking, he commended the role of Command and Staff College in shaping competent and visionary military leaders.

Earlier, the COAS was received by Commander Quetta Corps and the Commandant of Command and Staff College upon his arrival in Quetta.
