While talking to the media in Sialkot, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif praised the courage and sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces. He said their bravery will be remembered forever and written in golden words in the history books.
He welcomed the President’s approval of the appointment of the Army Chief and added that the military has always succeeded on every front. Right now, the main fight is against terrorism.
He also appreciated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for leading the country during tough times. Khawaja Asif said that the government fully supports the armed forces and stands with them in every situation.
