The COAS described Pakistan as a “country of consequence,” destined to secure its rightful place among nations. He noted that the professionalism and commitment displayed during Marka-e-Haq had enhanced Pakistan’s global stature.

Stressing national unity as the country’s greatest strength, he reaffirmed that Pakistan will overcome the nefarious designs of its adversaries, Insha’Allah.

Delegates were also briefed on national measures against illegal activities, including crackdowns on smuggling, narcotics trafficking, and organised crime. Updates were shared on enhanced border controls and the repatriation of illegal foreigners to maintain internal order and protect national interests.

The COAS reiterated that the security, territorial integrity, and protection of all Pakistani citizens remain paramount for the Pakistan Army and will not be compromised. He underscored the importance of coordinated national efforts and institutional synergy to ensure lasting peace, stability, and prosperity.
