The chief guest congratulated the Air War College Institute (AWCI) team for achieving the educational standards worthy of an institute of the highest calibre and emphasized upon the importance of preparing future military leadership capable to face modern day challenges of aerial warfare.

Addressing the Air War Course participants, the CNS paid rich tribute to the role and sacrifices of Pakistan Armed Forces for the defence and security of the motherland.
