According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, Gen Sharif visited field deployments in South Waziristan.

The COAS reiterated Army's continued whole hearted support for tribal brethren under all circumstances.

While talking to the troops, he commended their commitment and paid rich tributes to them for their sacrifices in bringing peace and normalcy to the troubled regions.

The army chief reviewed progress of various projects undertaken by the army in the area, and appreciated them for quality of work and timely completion. ​

Gen Sharif particularly mentioned the construction of Central Trade Corridor, a 714-kilometre road network, linking Pakistan’s Indus Highway and  Waziristan agencies with the Afghan Ring Road.

Later the COAS also visited the recently established Cadet College Spinkai Raghzai. Talking to Cadets, he said that these projects would help integrate a new generation of young Pakistanis from such remote areas in the national mainstream.
