According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the COAS stressed upon need to strive for professional competence, leading the men from front and upholding the virtues of honour, integrity, selfless devotion and rich traditions of Pakistan Army.



Gen Qamar was briefed by the commandant Maj-Gen Akhtar Nawaz Satti on various functional aspects of the academy for professional grooming of the cadets.

The army chief’s visit comes as ties between Islamabad and New Delhi continue to fray. Last week, New Delhi called off a planned meeting between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan on the sidelines of ongoing 73rd United Nations General Assembly session in New York.
