Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Admiral Naveed Ashraf, Chief of the Naval Staff, and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Air Staff, have extended felicitations to the nation on Pakistan’s 79th Independence Day on behalf of the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
The joint message paid tribute to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the founding fathers whose sacrifices brought Pakistan into existence. The Armed Forces acknowledged the supreme sacrifices of martyrs, the services of veterans, law enforcement personnel, and every Pakistani who has served the nation.
Reaffirming their core mandate, the Armed Forces pledged unwavering resolve to defend Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against all threats, uphold the Constitution, and discharge the trust reposed in them by the people of Pakistan.
The message called on the nation to renew its commitment to the principles of Faith, Unity, and Discipline, strengthen national cohesion, promote tolerance, and work collectively toward a secure, stable, and prosperous Pakistan.
The statement comes at a moment of heightened national confidence. Pakistan’s armed forces have been at the center of the country’s most consequential diplomatic and military engagements this year, from Operation Bunyan al-Marsoos to the Islamabad MoU that ended the US-Iran conflict and the ongoing counterterrorism campaign under Azm-e-Istehkam.
