LONDON: The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that Pakistan is at the cusp of achieving sustainable, irreversible, enduring peace and stability.
While addressing a Seminar on “Pakistan’s Regional Security Perspective” at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, the COAS said that this can be complemented through meaningful international partnership, support and will to take on regional challenges.
The Army Chief also said that improved security offers foreign investment in Pakistan, a pivot to regional connectivity.
However, he added that the future of enduring peace and stability in South Asia hinges on ability to resolve issues and long pending disputes within the region.
