Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir visited frontline troops in Rakhchikri Sector of Line of Control (LOC) on December 03, 2022. COAS was briefed on the latest situation along the LOC and operational preparedness of the formation. He interacted with officers and soldiers, appreciated their high morale, professional competence and combat readiness while performing their duties in challenging conditions.

COAS said that we have noticed highly irresponsible statements recently from Indian leadership on Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. “Let me make it categorically clear, Pakistan's armed forces are ever ready, not only to defend every inch of our motherland, but to take the fight back to the enemy, if ever, war is imposed on us”, he emphasised. “Any misconception resulting into a misadventure will always be met with full might of our armed forces backed by a resilient nation. Indian state will never be able to achieve her nefarious designs. The world must ensure justice and deliver what is promised to the Kashmiri people as per United Nations resolutions”, COAS concluded.
Earlier, on arrival, Commander Rawalpindi Corps, Lieutenant General Shahid Imtiaz received COAS.
