RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Pakistan’s top military leadership on Tuesday convened in Rawalpindi as Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, presided over the 275th Corps Commanders’ Conference at General Headquarters.
The high-level forum brought together senior commanders to assess the country’s internal and external security environment, with a strong focus on operational readiness and counter-terrorism efforts.
The conference opened with tributes to the martyrs of the Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies, and civilians who lost their lives in the line of duty. The forum acknowledged their sacrifices as central to Pakistan’s national security framework, emphasising that their legacy continues to strengthen unity and resilience across the country.
Field Marshal Munir expressed satisfaction over the operational preparedness, professionalism, and combat readiness of the armed forces. He commended commanders and field formations for their sustained vigilance and effectiveness in intelligence-based counter-terrorism operations being conducted nationwide. The forum noted that these operations remain critical in targeting militant networks and maintaining internal stability.
A detailed review of the prevailing security landscape was undertaken, with participants resolving to sustain the current operational tempo. The leadership reiterated its commitment to dismantling terrorist organisations, disrupting their logistical and support systems, and denying them any operational space within Pakistan. Progress under Operation Ghazb-lil-Haq was highlighted, with the forum noting continued degradation of militant infrastructure and capabilities.
The forum also discussed cross-border dynamics, particularly concerns related to militant safe havens. It observed that policies attributed to the Afghan Taliban administration, including alleged tolerance of certain militant groups, were contributing to instability and drawing increasing scrutiny. Recent narratives accusing Pakistan of targeting civilians across the border were rejected, with the forum describing them as part of a broader disinformation campaign. Military leadership maintained that Pakistan’s actions remain precise and focused on infiltrators and identified terrorist infrastructure.
Regional developments were another key focus, with the forum noting that evolving geopolitical dynamics carry significant implications for stability. Emphasising restraint, the leadership underscored Pakistan’s position in supporting de-escalation and advocating responsible conduct among regional actors. It reiterated that lasting peace depends on mutual respect for sovereignty and collective responsibility.
The conference also marked the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, described as a defining moment reflecting national unity and resolve. The forum highlighted the commemoration as a demonstration of cohesion between the people, government, and armed forces, reinforcing the country’s preparedness to address both internal and external challenges.
In addition, the forum condemned ongoing human rights concerns in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, including reports of extrajudicial actions and demographic changes. Pakistan’s continued diplomatic, political, and moral support for the Kashmiri people was reaffirmed during the discussions.
In his concluding remarks, Field Marshal Munir directed commanders to maintain high levels of vigilance and adaptability in response to evolving threats. He emphasised the importance of professional excellence, integrated response mechanisms, and proactive strategies to counter both conventional and emerging security challenges.
