Army Ready To Defend Territorial Integrity Against All Kinds of Threats: COAS
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Thursday visited Line of Control (LoC) and reiterated country’s support for Kashmir cause.
COAS was briefed on situation along LOC and operational preparedness of deployed formations. He met with officers and troops on forward positions.
He emphasized upon troops to extend all out support to local population, remain steadfast and discharge duties with utmost sincerity and devotion.
COAS appreciated officers and men for maintaining continued vigil, remarkable operational preparedness and high state of morale.
He further said that Pakistan Army is ready to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan against all kinds of threat and is determined to support just cause of Kashmiris and seeks resolution of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with UN resolutions.
Earlier on arrival at LOC, COAS was received by Corps Commander Rawalpindi Corps.
It is pertinent to note that Pakistan and India in February 2021 recommitted themselves to 2003 ceasefire arrangement at Line of Control (LOC) and agreed to address ‘core issues’ that could undermine peace and stability.
Announcement was made in a joint statement by militaries of two countries on a ‘hotline contact’ between their Directors General Military Operations (DGMOs), which had apparently taken place a day earlier.
