Overview
- The 273rd Corps Commanders’ Conference at GHQ, chaired by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, reviewed internal and external security and vowed to deal decisively with terrorists operating under Indian sponsorship along with their facilitators.
- The forum rejected any nexus between terrorism, crime, and vested political interests and said attempts to divide the armed forces and the public would not be allowed.
- Munir instructed commanders to uphold the highest standards of operational readiness, discipline, training, physical fitness, technological innovation, and battlefield adaptability.
- Participants backed Balochistan Special Development Initiatives for local empowerment and urged similar public‑centric measures under the National Action Plan to sustain stability.
- A day earlier at NDU, Munir warned of proxies exploiting internal fault lines within a complex, multi‑domain threat environment, as the Financial Times spotlighted his multi‑alignment diplomacy.
