Service Chiefs

RAWALPINDI: On the auspicious occasion marking the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf and Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu extend their heartfelt congratulations to the nation and all ranks of the Armed Forces.

Observed with deep reverence, gratitude, and national fervour, the day stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of courage, professionalism, and unity.

The Armed Forces stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Pakistan, reaffirming their unbreakable bond with the nation they proudly serve. To celebrate the victory of Marka-e-Haq and to honour the unparalleled sacrifices by our martyrs and veterans, ceremonies are being held across the country.

Floral wreaths are being laid at martyrs memorials, and prayers are being offered to pay tribute to their valour and selflessness, recognised as the cornerstone of Pakistan’s sovereignty, security, and stability. Marka-e-Haq has become a defining landmark in the nation’s journey, reflecting national resolve, military excellence, and strategic maturity.

This success not only bolstered national confidence but also established Pakistan as a responsible regional stabiliser, possessing formidable military capabilities. Pakistan’s measured and resolute response during Marka-e-Haq exposed adversarial conspiracies, false flag narratives and disinformation campaigns, diminishing their credibility internationally.

Despite facing conventional and hybrid challenges, including proxy terrorism, the Armed Forces demonstrated superior operational competence across land, air, sea, cyber, and information domains.

In the aftermath of Marka-e-Haq, Pakistan has further enhanced its defensive capabilities and reinforced full-spectrum deterrence despite resource asymmetries. Marka-e-Haq stands as a testament to the Armed Forces’ preparedness, dedication, and professionalism, which decisively strengthened public confidence in their Armed Forces.

The anniversary also reaffirms Pakistan’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty while promoting peace and stability in the region.

Pakistan believes that sustainable peace in South Asia can only be achieved through meaningful dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to international law and principles of justice.

With the unwavering support of a resilient and united nation, the Armed Forces remain capable, vigilant, and fully prepared to confront all internal and external challenges, ensuring the security, stability and territorial integrity of Pakistan. Pakistan Hamesha Zindabad
