Corp Commanders discuss internal and external security situation

RAWALPINDI: Corps Commanders’ Conference held here Friday at General Headquarters discussed internal and external security situation of the country and progress of operation Radd-ul-Fasaad. The conference was chaired by General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) chaired the conference.
The conference discussed in detail the Raddul Fassad operation and vowed that it would continue until the elimination of all terrorists from Pakistani soil. Reportedly security environment in the region including announcement of Afghan and South Asia policy by President Trump was also discussed. This was the first meeting of the army’s top commanders after US President Donald Trump announced his new South Asia policy on August 22. Since then, Pakistan has taken a strong stance against the ‘anti-Pakistan’ policy, with the military leadership holding several meetings with the civilian government.
At the last corps commanders’ meeting on August 7, the COAS expressed full satisfaction at army’s commitment to national defence and security and directed that efforts must continue to defeat terrorism and militancy in order to establish rule of law and uphold supremacy of the Constitution.
“We look forward to a trust based mutual cooperation in this regard which can achieve the policy ends of enduring regional peace,” the COAS had said. INP
