Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif said on Friday that the force was, in unison with other services, fully prepared to deter and defeat any aggression across the entire spectrum of threats.

According to a press release by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Gen Sharif visited the Command and Staff College in Quetta on Friday. The army chief said that the force is respected for its achievements and sacrifices the world over.

Gen Sharif said that the army has the unique accomplishment of having been employed on various fronts against both conventional and sub-conventional threats for over a decade.

The army chief exhorted the need for future leadership to remain abreast with the latest global and regional developments and focus on their professional grooming.

Elaborating on this, the COAS emphasised that the army should carry its legacy as a national army suffused with an enhanced degree of professional ethos, pride and esprit de corps.

An army which continues to be reflective of Pakistan’s aspirations  manifesting the collective will and resilience of its citizens, Gen Sharif said, is a symbol of national unity and cohesion.

Earlier, Gen Sharif had been received by Commander Southern Command Lieutenant General Naseer Khan Janjua.
