Field Marshal Asim Munir (COAS & CDF) Reaffirms Pakistan's Support for Kashmir During Muzaffarabad Visit

Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, NI (M), HJ, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) & Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), visited Muzaffarabad today to pay homage to the martyrs of the Kashmiri freedom struggle and interact with troops deployed along the frontlines.

Honoring the Legacy of Valour

The visit commenced at the Jammu and Kashmir Martyrs Monument, where the COAS laid a floral wreath and offered Fatiha. He paid rich tributes to the Shuhada (martyrs) of the Kashmir movement, stating that their enduring legacy of sacrifice remains the cornerstone of the struggle for self-determination.

Unwavering Diplomatic and Moral Support

During an interaction with local notables and veterans, the COAS reiterated Pakistan’s steadfast political, moral, and diplomatic support for the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). He remarked:

“Indian atrocities and Hindutva-driven excesses have failed to suppress the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people. Kashmir will soon witness the dawn of freedom in accordance with the will of its people and UN Security Council resolutions.”

The COAS emphasized that Pakistan remains committed to highlighting the Kashmir issue at every relevant international forum, standing in complete solidarity with Kashmiri brothers and sisters until a just resolution is achieved.

Operational Readiness and Frontline Vigilance

While visiting forward posts, the COAS interacted with troops deployed under challenging operational conditions. He commended their professional excellence, high morale, and combat readiness.

Addressing the security environment, the COAS issued a clear message of deterrence:

  • Swift Response: Any act of aggression will be met instantaneously with a befitting response.
  • Hybrid Defense: The Armed Forces are fully prepared to counter both conventional and hybrid threats in the evolving regional security landscape.
  • Operational Synergy: He stressed the importance of maintaining peak vigilance and seamless synergy across all domains to deter hostile provocations.

Earlier, upon his arrival in Muzaffarabad, the COAS & CDF was received by the Commander Rawalpindi Corps.
