RAWALPINDI: Chief of the Army Staff General Asim Munir on Tuesday said Pakistan Army’s standard of professionalism and leadership was par excellence compared to any modern army of the world.

However, the junior leaders of Pakistan Army have proven their mettle in the fields of training, operations and world-class competitions across the world, the COAS said at the opening ceremony of “Multi-National Special Forces Exercise Eternal Broth­erhood-II” held at Barotha.

Special forces contingents from Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Turkiye and Uzbekistan are participating in the two-week-long exercise, an Inter-Services Public Relations press release said.

The army chief visited the Barotha garrison and interacted with the participants. He was briefed on the scope and conduct of the exercise by the general officer commanding of Special Service Group.

The exercise is aimed at further harnessing the historic military-to-military relations among friendly countries, including nurturing of joint employment concept, while identifying areas of mutual interest for future military collaborations and benefiting from each other’s experience against terrorism.
