Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) Chairman General Nadeem Raza and all three services chiefs of Pakistan’s armed forces visited the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) headquarters in Islamabad on Tuesday.
“Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Admiral Zafar Mehmood Abbasi and Chief of Air Staff (CAS) Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan visited HQs ISI,” Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj-Gen Babar Iftikhar said in a tweet. Head of the premier intelligence agency Lieutenant General Faiz Hamid received the CJCSC and heads of armed forces at the Directorate General of ISI, it added.
A comprehensive briefing was given to the military leadership on the regional security issues with special focus on situation of Line of Control (LoC) and Indian-held Kashmir (IHK).
General Nadeem and the services chiefs appreciated the tireless efforts of ISI for national security and expressed satisfaction over professional preparedness, the military’s media wing said.
The rare visit of top military leadership to the country’s spy agency came amid surge in Indian ceasefire violations along LoC following the abrogation of occupied valley’s special status on August 5 last year.
In a recent incident at the LOC, at least four civilians, including two children and two women, were seriously injured as Indian army troops initiated unprovoked firing in Jandrot sector along the Line of Control (LoC) on June 9, an ISPR press release issued on the day had said.
