The Corps Commanders Conference (CCC) reviewed the geostrategic, regional national and security environment and discussed internal security, the situation along borders and the Line of Control (LOC), as well as the atrocities in the Indian Illegally, Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
The military’s media wing informed that the forum expressed serious concerns in the wake of irrefutable evidence of Indian state-sponsored terrorism and India’s efforts to destabilize Pakistan.
“Indian efforts to sabotage CPEC, involvement in financing and training of terrorist organizations for fomenting unrest in Pakistan, especially in [Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan are an affront to peace and security in the region, forum emphasised,” the ISPR added.
It also noted, “Deliberating upon recent surge in CFVs by the Indian Army, the forum resolved to take all measures necessary to protect innocent population living along LOC from Indian firing deliberately targeting civil population.”
The CCC further took a comprehensive overview of positive progress in Afghan Peace Process, about which Prime Minister Imran Khan during his visit to Afghanistan last week had said Pakistan would do its utmost to end the violence and establish peace in the neighbouring nation.
“The forum expressed strong will, resolve and determination to defend the motherland against any misadventure [and] also deliberated upon the COVID-19 situation and measures required to confront the pandemic in the wake of 2nd wave,” the ISPR added.
Gen Bajwa specifically directed all commanders to ensure measures to support the national effort. “It is our duty to transform these challenges into opportunities for the stability & prosperity of the people of Pakistan,” the Army chief concluded.
