Pakistan armed forces take 'great pride' in SCO partnership: JCSC

Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (JCSC) General Sahir Shamshad Mirza attended the opening session of an SCO Member States Seminar being hosted by Pakistan in Rawalpindi, said a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Tuesday. 

The theme of the session is 'Challenges in Military Medicines'.

General Mirza highlighted that the "emergence of new and complex healthcare challenges, pandemics and humanitarian crisis merit crafting of collective preparedness, response strategies and more importantly strengthening of multilateral collaboration amongst SCO nations especially in the field of military medicines". 

He also reiterated that the country and its armed forces take great pride in the SCO partnership and are "fully committed" to further enhancing cooperation. 

"He expressed his gratitude to SCO for affording this platform for dialogue and cooperation; and the delegates from partner countries for their wholehearted attendance," said the statement by the military's media wing.
