QUETTA: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the Command and Staff College in Quetta, where he addressed faculty members and under-training officers, highlighting national security, defence and regional developments.
During his speech, the prime minister praised the armed forces for what he called their “exemplary role” in defending national sovereignty, maintaining peace and ensuring stability.
He paid tribute to military personnel and martyrs, saying the nation would always remember their sacrifices for the country.
Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan’s armed forces had demonstrated professional excellence and operational readiness, particularly during what he referred to as “Ma’arka-e-Haq,” where, according to him, they successfully responded to external aggression.
He also lauded the leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, describing recent achievements under his command as historic, and congratulated the military leadership and troops.
The prime minister said the international community had acknowledged Pakistan’s “wise approach” and principled stance on regional issues.
He added that Pakistan remained fully prepared to respond to any aggression and would continue efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sharif said operations against terrorism would continue with full resolve and national unity until the threat was eliminated.
