ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 19 (NNN-PPI) – Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Qamar Javed Bajwa, said that, a display of patience, determination and unity is required to bring ultimate peace in the country, the military’s media wing said.
Addressing troops in the northwestern tribal district of North Waziristan on Saturday, the army chief said that, after successful war against terrorism, there are still some challenges in security-related issues, but the current trials are not as much as they faced against terrorism in the recent past, the Inter-Services Public Relations said in the statement.
The army chief also met with troops in the area, where three Pakistani soldiers were killed in a recent cross-border attack, and appreciated their contributions for bringing peace and stability in the region.
“Pakistan is solidifying border through fencing, construction of new forts & posts and increase in strength of FC (paramilitary frontier corps) troops, to effectively manage the border,” Bajwa said, adding that, his country is continuing a positive role in the Afghan peace process, but they are also fencing the border, as preparation for any unseen eventuality.
The army chief was also briefed about sanitisation operation, socioeconomic development projects, and rehabilitation of temporarily displaced people, who had to leave their homes for military’s operation against militants.– NNN-PPI
