Forum strongly asserted that it is imperative to take decisive and holistic actions at all levels against the Indian-backed and sponsored proxies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISPR said the forum also noted the Indian military\u2019s \u201cbaseless insinuations to offset its comprehensive defeat\u201d, in an apparent reference to the deputy Indian army chief alleging last week that China gave Islamabad \u201clive inputs\u201d on key Indian positions during the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInvoking third parties in what is unmistakably a bilateral military confrontation reflects a disingenuous attempt at bloc politics aimed at falsely projecting India\u2019s self-assigned role as a net security provider to accrue benefits in a region that is visibly growing disillusioned with Indian hegemonic ambitions and Hindutva-driven extremism,\u201d the ISPR quoted Field Marshal Munir as saying on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The army brass also conducted a holistic review of the prevailing internal and external security dynamics, with particular emphasis on the recent developments in the Middle East and Iran, noting the \u201cgrowing propensity for \u2018use of force\u2019 as a preferred policy tool\u201d, saying it warranted \u201cpersistent development of self-reliant capabilities as well as national unity and resolve\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forum\u2019s members were further briefed on the military\u2019s ongoing drive with quick adaptation towards the \u201cevolving threat spectrum and changing character of war\u201d. The army chief also appreciated the leadership of the Pakistan Navy and the Pakistan Air Force for \u201cfurther strengthening tri-services synergy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Field Marshal Munir also shared details of the country\u2019s \u201cproactive and successful\u201d diplomatic manoeuvres, including recent visits to Iran, Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where he had accompanied Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cForum was also briefed on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1918044\">historic and unique visit<\/a>&nbsp;of the COAS to US, where meetings with top-tier leadership afforded an opportunity to share first hand Pakistan\u2019s objective perspective on bilateral, regional and extra-regional developments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISPR said that in his concluding remarks, the army chief expressed \u201cfull confidence in the operational readiness of Pakistan Army against complete threat spectrum\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir said on Thursday that India was doubling down on its<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
