ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited Headquarters of Inter-Services Intelligence here on Monday, where he was given a detailed update on the internal and external security situation of the country.

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

Earlier on arrival, General Qamar Javed Bajwa was received by Director General ISl, Lt Gen Faiz Hameed.

The security briefing comes amid Pakistan’s strained ties with India, which have worsened after August 5, 2019, when India revoked occupied Kashmir’s special status.

According to the ISPR, Indian troops have committed 1,877 ceasefire violations this year, so far, in which 15 innocent civilians, including six women and five children, have been martyred.
