Reiterating the nation’s unwavering stance, he stated, “The entire nation and its leadership stand as a steel wall in the defense of the motherland.” He cited the success of the “Marka-e-Haq” (Battle of Truth) as a testament to the complete harmony among all elements of national power. General Asim Munir also drew attention to the perilous trend of Indian military aggression, vowing to decisively defeat any act of hostility with full force and determination. “We will thwart all designs aimed at diverting attention from Pakistan’s efforts against terrorism,” he affirmed. He urged students and officers to fulfill their responsibilities with dedication, passion, and commitment, and commended the Command and Staff College’s role in preparing future military leaders. “Besides training, we must also remain prepared for future battlefields,” he added.
