The forum also expressed concern over human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and condemned persistent disinformation and false narratives attributed to India.

He directed commanders to maintain operational readiness, adaptability, and the highest standards of professionalism to safeguard Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
