In my columns, I have frequently mentioned that leading the Pakistan Army and facing the challenges that come with such leadership require courage and resilience. It is not an easy task for an ordinary person to handle such a difficult responsibility and display such skill in this challenging role that both supporters and opponents are compelled to acknowledge it.

For the past two years, Pakistan’s core institution, the military, has been led by Hafiz General Syed Asim Munir. The way General Asim Munir tirelessly works for the country is remarkable, and without a doubt, one feels that the achievements of such a person should be highlighted.

Individuals like General Asim Munir quietly fulfill their duties, but it is our duty as writers to bring their efforts to the forefront and show the world that this is the person not only leading the Pakistan Army but also tackling challenges that go beyond his professional duties, with the goal of elevating Pakistan’s standing globally. General Asim Munir’s relentless efforts on every front have even been acknowledged by the United States. The American military journal CENTCOM Magazine has openly recognized General Asim Munir’s successes.

CENTCOM Magazine has not only called General Asim Munir an exemplary leader of Pakistan’s armed forces but also highly praised his wise strategies and military skills. This recognition from a global military institution like CENTCOM is proof that General Asim Munir’s leadership has presented Pakistan as a strong and credible state in the region and internationally.

Pakistan is emerging as a strong, sovereign, and secure nation.

The American magazine, in its article, has highlighted the most significant achievement of Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir, describing the decisive battle against terrorism and extremism in Pakistan. Under his leadership, the Pakistan Army has conducted continuous operations against terrorist groups, resulting in the elimination of 398 terrorists through 22,409 intelligence-based operations, including the neutralization of 31 most-wanted terrorists.

The report published in CENTCOM Magazine clearly states that General Asim Munir’s leadership has presented Pakistan as an exemplary country on the global stage in the fight against terrorism. Under General Asim Munir’s leadership, Pakistan has also achieved remarkable success on the international front. CENTCOM’s article mentioned that General Asim has strengthened economic and military relations not only with Gulf countries but also with the United States. These enhanced relations are not only improving Pakistan’s economy but are also increasing Pakistan’s importance within the global community.

These achievements in military diplomacy are elevating Pakistan’s prestige internationally. Another important aspect of General Asim Munir’s leadership, as highlighted by CENTCOM Magazine, is promoting religious harmony and tolerance.

Following the unpleasant incidents involving the minority community in Jaranwala, General Asim strongly condemned the events, sending a clear message that there is no room for intolerance against any community in Pakistan.

This message was aimed not only at promoting interfaith harmony in Pakistan but also at showing the world that Pakistan aspires to build a society based on tolerance, against extremism. The recognition of General Asim Munir’s leadership and abilities by the American CENTCOM Magazine is an extraordinary moment, symbolizing that Pakistan’s military is playing a responsible and robust role not only for the security of its own country but also at the international level. This acknowledgment is further proof that under Pakistan’s leadership, particularly with General Asim Munir at the helm, Pakistan is playing a significant role in peace and stability in the region.

Under the leadership of General Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan is emerging as a strong, sovereign, and secure nation. His wise strategies, successful fight against terrorism, and achievements in international diplomacy promise a bright future for Pakistan. CENTCOM Magazine’s article sends a clear message that Pakistan’s security is in strong and reliable hands. Others may praise him, but if we ourselves examine his daily efforts, it becomes clear that the Army Chief’s compassionate approach towards his soldiers is also commendable. As a leader, he continuously visits forward positions to encourage and reassure his troops with his presence.

During his tenure, the concept of military diplomacy emerged, strengthening relations with other countries. Over the past two years, he has worked tirelessly, and without any doubt, we can say that under the leadership and supervision of Hafiz Syed Asim Munir, the Pakistan Army has performed exceptionally on every front, illuminating Pakistan’s name on the global stage.
