General Munir also addressed the 15th Workshop on Balochistan, where he emphasized the vital role of civil society in the region’s progress and the unwavering commitment of Pakistan’s armed forces to eliminate foreign-sponsored terrorism.
He reaffirmed that both political and military leaderships are fully mobilized to ensure development and prosperity in Balochistan.
