The 275th Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) on Tuesday stressed on the need to maintain regional stability amid the Middle East conflict, warning evolving geopolitical developments carry serious implications for peace and security.
According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir chaired the forum at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The huddle, it said, deliberated on the broader regional security environment, noting that emerging geopolitical developments carry significant implications for regional stability.
Underscoring the importance of restraint and avoidance of escalation, the CCC acknowledged Pakistan’s continued responsible role in advocating stability and supporting efforts aimed at preventing further deterioration of the situation. It reiterated that regional peace and stability are intrinsically linked to collective restraint, responsibility and respect for sovereignty.
The military’s media wing said the field marshal had expressed his satisfaction over the high standards of operational preparedness, professionalism, and combat readiness of Pakistan’s armed forces. He commended commanders and formations for their unwavering commitment, vigilance, and success in ongoing intelligence-based counter-terrorism operations across the country.
The ISPR statement further said the forum undertook a comprehensive review of the prevailing internal and external security environment and expressed its resolve to maintain the current operational tempo to decisively dismantle terrorist networks, disrupt their support infrastructure, and deny them any operational space within Pakistan.
On Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq, targeting militants in Afghanistan, the military’s top brass acknowledged the continued degradation of terrorists and their support infrastructure. It noted that the “irrational and perverted policy” of the interim Afghanistan government to provide safe havens to Khawarij and other terrorist organizations, with total disregard for the interests of the Afghan people, was increasingly backfiring and fully exposed.
The forum also took note of the ongoing propaganda campaign by Afghan Taliban to falsely portray Pakistan as targeting civilians inside Afghanistan and rejected misleading narratives as part of a coordinated disinformation strategy by the Taliban regime. “Such misleading narratives are part of a coordinated disinformation strategy by the regime to distract attention from their internal failures and play the victim card,” it said.
The forum categorically rejected these frivolous allegations and reaffirmed that Pakistan’s defensive actions remain focused, precise, and directed solely against infiltrators, terrorist hideouts and support infrastructures.
Marka-e-Haq
The forum also congratulated the nation and armed forces on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, recognizing it as a defining moment reflecting national unity, collective resolve, and an unyielding commitment to safeguard Pakistan’s sovereignty at all costs.
The CCC underscored that the national commemoration of Marka-e-Haq serves as a clear message to the Indian hubristic political mindset that the Pakistani nation stands united, resilient, and fully prepared. “It signifies the unshakeable harmony between people, government and the armed forces, which stands together as ‘Bunyanum Marsoos’, against all internal and external challenges,” read the ISPR statement.
The forum also condemned ongoing atrocities, extrajudicial killings, and demographic changes in India-held Kashmir, reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering diplomatic, political, and moral support for the just struggle of the Kashmiri people.
In his concluding remarks, CDF Munir directed commanders to maintain the highest levels of vigilance, operational readiness, and adaptability in the face of evolving threats. He emphasized the need for continued focus on professional excellence, integrated response mechanisms, and proactive measures to counter both conventional and non-conventional challenges.
The forum also offered Fateha for the martyrs of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and innocent civilians who laid down their lives in defense of the motherland. Paying profound tribute to their unmatched sacrifices, the CCC reaffirmed that the enduring legacy of the martyrs continues to serve as the bedrock of Pakistan’s national security, unity, and resilience.
