ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir visited Multan Garrison where he was briefed on the operational preparedness and training activities of the formation at Corps Headquarters.
Expressing satisfaction over the high standards of readiness, the Army Chief reaffirmed the Pakistan Army’s steadfast commitment to defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity. During his visit, the COAS also interacted with members of academia and civil society in an interactive session. He emphasised the importance of national unity, civil-military harmony, and adopting a whole-of-nation approach to effectively counter hybrid threats and promote societal cohesion.
