Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir has said that he is determined to defeat attempts by Pakistan's enemies to "drive a wedge” between the people and the armed forces.
Addressing the passing out parade of the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, KP, Gen Asim said his aim is to "preserve and further solidify" the bond via "selfless performance" of constitutional duties.
"Remember, people are central to the unity of the state and our future, as well as progress, depends on internal cohesion, democracy and constitutionalism," the COAS told the passing out cadets.
"Our enemies are hell-bent upon driving a wedge between our people and armed forces for their ulterior motives. We will ensure that this bond is preserved and further solidified through selfless performance of the duties entrusted to us within the confines of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan," he maintained.

Addressing the cadets, he said, “Today’s parade yet again proves the professionalism, superior ethos and glorious traditions of the academy and Pakistan Army alike”.
He urged them to remain focused. "First and foremost is loyalty to the state of Pakistan and commitment to the constitutional role assigned to the armed forces of Pakistan."
