Author: By Our Special Correspondent

ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Wednesday visited the 16 Baloch Regiment at Sialkot Cantonment, where he was commissioned as second lieutenant.

Both the COAS and his father have commanded this unit. The COAS spent the day with serving and retired soldiers and war veterans of the battalion, who felt proud to see their officer as the army chief.

Recollecting the memories, the COAS said that a unit was a grooming place for soldiers as well as officers who “undertake the challenges of professional life together”, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Service Public Relations.

“Taking inspiration from war veterans and their spirit of sacrifice, the Pakistan Army has always measured up to the challenges and expectations of our nation,” he said. Earlier, upon his arrival in Sialkot, the COAS was received by Corps Commander Lt Gen Ikramul Haque.
