RAWALPINDI: The top military leadership on Tuesday vowed to defeat terrorists and their abettors at all costs, saying sacrifices rendered by martyrs and their families for peaceful Pakistan will not go in vain.
This resolve was expressed at the 238th Corps Commanders’ Conference held at General Headquarters (GHQ) on Tuesday with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa in the chair, said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“The participants undertook a comprehensive review of the regional and domestic security environment with special focus on the situation along the borders, internal security and other professional matters of the army,” said the ISPR.
