Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Monday visited headquarters of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) – the country’s premier intelligence agency – in Islamabad, military’s media wing said.

General Qamar was given a detailed update on the internal and external security situation of the country during the visit, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

The army chief appreciated measures taken to optimise performance of ISI, ensuring that the country responds effectively to threats across the spectrum.

Earlier on arrival, the COAS was received by ISI DG Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed.

In April, Prime Minister Imran Khan, accompanied by General Qamar and federal ministers and advisers, visited the ISI headquarters.

During the visit PM Imran received a comprehensive briefing, covering the entire spectrum of internal and external challenges, including the impact of Covid-19, according to ISPR.

The prime minister, while appreciating the sacrifices and contributions of ISI personnel, emphasised that no effort would be spared for security, integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.
