Rawalpindi: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Saturday cautioned India that there was 'no space for war in a nuclearised environment' as he hailed Pakistan's 'clear victory' during the May conflict with the neighbouring country. Syed Asim Munir urged the Afghan Taliban regime to rein in the proxies, who have sanctuaries in Afghanistan and involved in heinous attacks inside Pakistan. The field marshal said every proxy war by our neighbours will be razed to dust.Addressing a passing out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul, COAS Syed Asim Munir said, 'I advise and firmly caution India's military leadership that there is no space for war in a nuclearised environment.Calling on New Delhi to settle core issues as per international norms, the army chief asserted, 'We will never be intimidated not coerced by your rhetoric and will respond decisively to even a minor provocation without any qualms.''Ever since the creation of Pakistan, the armed forces, with full supp ort of the nation, have defended the external and internal frontiers of the country with unfailing resolve, conviction and pride.'The most recent display of this spirit and resolve of the armed forces of Pakistan during Marka-i-Haq and Operation Bunyanum Marsoos has further strengthened the trust and confidence of the people of Pakistan in the competence and far-reaching capabilities of its armed forces by neutralising all threats with remarkable professionalism,' COAS Syed Asim Munir said, referring to the four-day May conflict with India.'Downing advanced Rafales, targeting multiple bases including S-400s, and showcasing multi-domain warfare capabilities, Pakistan has displayed its capabilities and will to defend,' COAS Syed Asim Munir asserted.He further said that 'people of hues and colours, age, gender, ethnicity or creed, stood firm and tall like a wall of steel, leading to a renewed spirit of patriotism and national fervour, which prevails across the length and breadth of Pakistan'.The field ma rshal stated: 'Our collective success has reenergised and strengthened the proud and illustrious memories of our earlier successes. Pakistan once again came out victorious against a treacherous enemy marked by strategic blindness and naivety, and filled with hubris and rhetoric about its misguided hegemonic ambitions.'India's eagerness to adjudge culpability, aversion to neutral investigations and staking self-created evidence was indicative of politicisation of terrorism for vested interests of the ruling regime,' he added.COAS Syed Asim Munir went on to say, 'Pakistan, on the other hand, gained deep admiration of the people of Pakistan and the international community because of the legitimacy and the clear victory against a numerically superior adversary.'Internally, it has further unified our nation and strengthened our resolve to defend against any threat, whether external or internal. It has reinforced confidence, particularly amongst the youth, that the armed forces of Pakistan are an essential el ement of national power and trusted with the responsibility to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state.'Field Marshal Munir said the world is witnessing a shift in incentives toward the use of violence for political ends, but Pakistan has emerged successfully as a net regional stabilizer. He said ties with global powers, particularly Muslim countries, have strengthened, and Pakistan has consistently contributed to peace and stability regionally and beyond, including substantial participation in UN peacekeeping missions.He described the recent strategic mutual defence agreement with Saudi Arabia as a formal reinforcement of brotherly ties that will help secure peace and stability in the Middle East and South Asia, and called it a unique honour for Pakistan's people and armed forces to be able to serve in defence of the Two Holy Mosques.The army chief said Pakistan has also played a role in facilitating peaceful negotiations with Iran and that relations with other Muslim countries a re rapidly improving.He expressed pride in Pakistan's historic and strategic partnership with China and welcomed the revival of stronger relations with the United States, calling President Trump's personal efforts and strategic leadership in establishing peace in conflict zones commendable. He said Pakistan will continue to cultivate relations with important global and regional leaders for peace, security and development.On Kashmir, the field marshal reiterated Pakistan's steadfast stance and asked how long Kashmiris would endure oppression and be denied the right to self-determination. He said Pakistan remains firmly committed to political, diplomatic and moral support for the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people and to pursuing a resolution in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.Regarding Palestine, he said the world has finally taken notice of Israeli large-scale aggression, killings and displacement. He noted Pakistan's diplomatic efforts have helped recent steps toward a ceasefire in Gaza and expressed hope those measures will enable humanitarian assistance and reconstruction, ultimately allowing Palestinians to live peacefully in their homeland. He reaffirmed Pakistan's principled support for a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital of a sovereign, viable Palestinian state.At the outset of his address, the army chief extended his warm greetings and appreciation to the 'immaculately turned-out gentlemen and lady cadets for the outstanding display of professionalism and discipline'.He also expressed his compliments to the cadets from friendly countries of Malaysia, Nepal, Palestine, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Yemen, Mali, Maldives, and Nigeria for 'successful completion of the formative training at this prestigious institution'.'This is a moment of pride for you and all of us, reflective of the strong bond of military cooperation and international camaraderie,' COAS Syed Asim Munir said.He hig hlighted that the PMA's role 'as a cornerstone of military excellence has always remained commendable, and the standards exhibited today are no less reflective of the same'.He said that since Pakistan's founding the Pakistan armed forces, backed by full public support, have left no stone unturned in defending the country's internal and external security. The recent victory against India has demonstrated the military's professional skill and resolve and further strengthened national confidence.COAS Syed Asim Munir said the law enforcement agencies, with the help of the people of Pakistan, particularly those in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, will surely defeat the menace of terrorism backed by India.'Like our victory in the conventional domain, every state proxy of our neighbour will be raised to dust, InshaAllah. Like we stood firm against a much larger adversary, we shall never bow against a handful of misguided terrorists having purported interpretation of Islam,' he said.Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir assured the nation that, with the mercy of Allah Almighty and the support of the people, Pakistan would never lose an inch of its sacred land. 'From here on, you all shall be contributing to the same cause,' he added.He paid rich tribute to the people of Pakistan and the country's armed forces, saying: 'I proudly salute every soldier, sailor, airman, the brave men, women, children, and elderly who laid their lives during the testing times, and to the Ghazis who fought with utmost conviction to defend the motherland at all costs.''Our Shuhada, who have sacrificed for the creation and later preservation of this great country, deserve recognition. We owe our deepest respect to the martyrs and their families because of whom we enjoy freedom and independence.'Addressing the cadets, he said, 'You are being commissioned from one of the finest armies in the world, which is second to none. The bond between the people of Pakistan and the armed forces is unshakeable.'Passing out parade of cadets of 152nd P MA Long Course, 71st Integrated Course, 26th Lady Cadet Course, 37th Technical Graduate Course was held at Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) Kakul on Saturday.Cadets from several friendly countries including Iraq, Palestine, Qatar, Mali, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Bangladesh and Nigeria also graduated from Pakistan Military Academy.
