He said that despite our commitments on western border and internal security duties we cannot remain oblivious of perpetual conventional threat, which demands high standards of training and operational readiness.

Quoting the founder of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Gen Qamar said that no power [on earth] could undo Pakistan.

For this purpose, he added, the nation and its state institutions shall continue to cohesively perform in the best interest of the country.
