Top army huddle reviews geo-strategic situation ahead of NSC meeting

RAWALPINDI: The 207th Corps Commanders’ Conference on Tuesday discussed the evolving geo-strategic environment and internal security situation.

The meeting, held at GHQ in Rawalpindi, was presided over by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), “the forum also discussed input for NSC meeting scheduled later today.”

The NSC meeting had been called to discuss US President Donald Trump’s latest statement alleging Pakistan of “lies and deceit”.

In a 50 word tweet, the US President stated, “The US has foolishly given Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”
