ISLAMABAD: The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Defence Minister, and the Services Chiefs, visited the Headquarters of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) today.
The visit entailed a detailed briefing on the prevailing security environment, with a particular focus on preparedness for conventional threat in the light of India’s increasingly aggressive and provocative posture along Pakistan’s Eastern border. The leadership was apprised of regional security developments and the evolving threat matrix, including conventional military options, hybrid warfare tactics, and terrorist proxies.
The Prime Minister and accompanying dignitaries underscored the imperative of heightened national vigilance, seamless inter-agency coordination, and reinforced operational readiness to deter and decisively respond to any violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Commending the Agency’s professionalism and strategic acumen, the Prime Minister lauded its critical role in safeguarding national interests and enabling informed national security decision-making under complex and dynamic conditions.
The PM said that entire nation is behind our brave Armed Forces. “Pakistan Army is one of the most professional and disciplined force in the world”.
The leadership reaffirmed Pakistan’s unambiguous resolve to defend the homeland against all threats—conventional or otherwise and reiterated that with Nation’s full support, the Armed Forces, supported by all other elements of national power and state institutions, remain fully prepared to uphold Pakistan’s security, prestige and honour under all circumstances.
