Apart from discussing matters of professional interest, the participants of the conference had a detailed review of the overall internal and external security situation in the country, emerging geo-strategic environment and its relevance to Pakistan.
The top military leadership was also briefed in detail about prevailing and emerging threats, ongoing operations of security/intelligence agencies for breaking the nexus between terrorists and their support mechanism across the country, said the statement.
Speaking to the forum, the COAS expressed his complete satisfaction over the progress of Operation Zarb-e-Azb and operational preparedness of the Pakistan Army.
“COAS paid rich tributes to officers and men involved in operation for their sacrifices and successes.”
