Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir on Friday stressed that the “enduring partnership” between Pakistan and China will continue to play a pivotal role in regional stability.

Pakistan and China share a longstanding strategic partnership rooted in mutual trust, economic cooperation and regional connectivity. Over the decades, ties have expanded across different sectors — including trade, energy, defence and infrastructure — with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) symbolising a shared vision for development.

The army chief made the remarks at the 98th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China, which was commemorated at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi today, according to a press release by the military’s media affairs wing.

“He emphasised that their enduring partnership will continue to play a pivotal role in promoting regional stability and safeguarding shared strategic interests,” said the statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

ISLAMABAD: In a major reshuffle of Pakistan Army’s senior command structure, several high-ranking officers have been assigned to pivotal posts within the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Ministry of Interior (MoI), and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), underlining the military’s renewed emphasis on intelligence coordination, internal security, and operational readiness.

According to sources in the Defence Ministry, Major General Saad Ul Abad has been appointed Director General (H) at ISI, a critical role within Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency.

Meanwhile, Major General Noor Wali Khan, previously serving with ISI, has been posted as Additional Secretary at the Ministry of Interior, positioning him at the nexus of civil-military coordination on internal security matters.

Simultaneously, Major General Faheem has been transferred from Chief of Staff Headquarters Southern Command to the Ministry of Defence, reflecting continuity in defence planning and inter-agency synchronisation.

According to defence sources, the military leadership’s focus is on bolstering Pakistan’s intelligence apparatus, internal security architecture, and strategic command readiness - a move that comes amid shifting geopolitical landscapes and domestic security challenges.

Testifying before the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue, Secretary of Finance Imdadullah Bosal informed a parliamentary panel that a special relief allowance would be granted to armed forces personnel for the upcoming fiscal year. Officers will receive 50% of their basic salary, while junior commissioned officers (JCOs) and soldiers will receive 20%.

So far:

فوج کے افسروں کی تنخواہوں میں پچاس فیصد اضافہ
پراپرٹی کی خرید و فروخت میں ٹیکس پر معافی
افسروں کو چھ ہزار سی سی گاڑیاں منگوانے پر کسٹم چھوٹ
