In his address, the COAS said that the nation has given innumerable sacrifices for attainment of peace. “Our internal and external challenges demand a comprehensive national response and army, in coordination with other institutions of the state, is fully engaged in enabling that response,” he said, and added that the prosperity of Pakistan is linked with prosperity of Balochistan.
