Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Monday expressed Pakistan Army’s commitment to fully cooperate in the economic progress and development of the country as an institution.
Addressing a distinguished seminar on agriculture and food security as the esteemed guest of honour, General Munir commended the exceptional talents of the Pakistani nation while emphasizing the collective responsibility of the people in driving the nation’s progress.
The seminar served as a significant follow-up event to the recently-inaugurated Land Information Management System – Centre of Excellence (LIMS-COE). Anchored within the ‘Green Pakistan initiative,’ the comprehensive plan aims to bolster food security, stimulate exports, and reduce the nation’s reliance on agriculture-related imports.
“We are all gathered here to make Pakistan green again, Allah has bestowed many blessings upon Pakistan,” the army chief told the seminar. “We are a talented nation, the only requirement is that we contribute to its development together,” he emphasised.
“With full dedication and heart and soul to complete this stage, we assure all possible support for the economic development of Pakistan as an institution. Pakistan has to progress and no power in the world can stop it from progressing,” he added.
The army chief asked the nation not to despair, as he referred to a verse from the holy Quran. He stated that the Muslims hold on to patience [Sabr] when face any difficulty, and offer thanks [Shukr] when they receive bounties.
The ‘National Seminar on Agriculture and Food Security’, at the Jinnah Convention Centre, was attended by foreign dignitaries, potential investors and experts from UK, Italy, Spain, China, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and other countries.
