The 210th Corps Commanders’ Conference presided by Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi reviewed geo-strategic security environment with special focus on mainstreaming of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khushhal Balochistan project.
Speaking on the occasion, the army chief said that “the stability and development efforts [in FATA] must trickle down dividends of peace to the public while [the] control of cleared areas is being handed over to [the] civil administration.”
“[The] key dividend remains linked to mainstreaming of Fata in line with popular public sentiments,” he added.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), internal security situation, progress of ongoing counter-terrorism operations and its projection to achieve enduring peace and stability was discussed.
The conference acknowledged contributions and sacrifices of all national stakeholders, especially the resilient Pakistanis, in rejecting terrorism and bringing stability to the country.
The conference concluded with pledge to continue efforts in support of state institutions, which are taking Pakistan on a positive trajectory of peace, stability and prosperity.
