“Forum was also briefed on the cutting edge technologies being harnessed to modernise Army’s outfits besides up-gradation of logistics infrastructure corresponding to emerging operational imperatives,” said the Pak’s military media wing.

“COAS laid special emphasis on maintaining high standards of operational preparedness along the LOC/Working Boundary and Pakistan-Afghanistan international border in the wake of evolving geo-strategic milieu,” it added.

Last month, the Pakistan Army had expressed concern about the recent cross-border firing incidents along the Afghan border area.

“Taking serious note of the recent cross border firing incidents from Afghanistan and regrouping of terrorist leadership/outfits across, forum expressed hope that Afghanistan soil will not be used against Pakistan,” the ISPR had said in a tweet.

This statement came after Army Chief Bajwa chaired a meeting with the country’s top army brass at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. (ANI)
