The top commanders of the Pakistan Army have concluded that terrorist safe havens and liberty available to militant outfits in Afghanistan is a major challenge to Pakistan’s security.
The statement comes after 258th Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) presided over by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir held at GHQ in Rawalpindi, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Monday.
“The sanctuaries and liberty of action available to the terrorists of proscribed TTP and other groups of that ilk in a neighboring country and availability of latest weapons to the terrorists were noted as major reasons impacting security of Pakistan,” read the statement issued by the military’s media wing.
The participants were briefed in detail about the prevailing Internal security environment.
The forum deliberated in detail upon the operational preparedness and training aspects of the army.
“Objective training remains the hallmark of our professionalism and we must always remain prepared to guard against any threat to our national security,” the ISPR quoted Gen Munir as saying.
