However, the visiting dignitaries also appreciated Pakistan’s role in regional stability and pledged to play their part for further cooperation with Pakistan at all levels.

Earlier this week, COAS Bajwa had reiterated that Pakistan has made every possible effort to facilitate the Afghan peace process leading towards a negotiated settlement with utmost sincerity and will continue to do so.

Chairing a meeting of Corps Commanders’ Conference in Rawalpindi, he had said all stakeholders have to play their part positively for enduring peace in Afghanistan which is pivotal for stability in the region.

“Misperceptions and scapegoating must be avoided to counter designs of spoilers,” he cautioned.

The Army Chief further expressed satisfaction over stringent measures being taken for ensuring effective border control as part of the comprehensive Border Management Regime and asked for a high level of vigil along the western border.

He had also commended formations for maintaining high standards of operational readiness and providing sustained support to civil administration during ongoing national efforts against Covid-19, monsoons and National Polio Drive.
