The forum paid rich tribute to the Shuhada of the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies, and innocent civilians who laid down their lives in the defence of the motherland.

The COAS & CDF expressed satisfaction over the high standards of operational preparedness, professionalism, and combat readiness of the Pakistan Armed Forces. He commended commanders and formations for their continued commitment, vigilance, and success in ongoing intelligence-based counterterrorism operations across the country.
The forum undertook a comprehensive review of the prevailing internal and external security environment. It resolved to maintain the current operational tempo to dismantle terrorist networks, disrupt their support infrastructure, and deny them any operational space within Pakistan.
The forum acknowledged continued degradation of terrorists and their support infrastructure through Operation Ghazb Lil Haq.
It noted the policy of the Afghan Taliban regime to provide safe havens to Khwarij and other terrorist organizations, stating that such actions are contrary to the interests of the Afghan people. It also noted the ongoing propaganda campaign by the Taliban regime to falsely portray Pakistan as targeting civilians inside Afghanistan, terming these claims part of a coordinated disinformation strategy aimed at distracting from internal failures. The forum categorically rejected these allegations and reiterated that Pakistan’s defensive actions remain focused, precise, and directed solely against infiltrators, terrorist hideouts, and support infrastructure.
Deliberating on the regional security environment, the forum noted that emerging geopolitical developments carry significant implications for regional stability. It underscored the importance of restraint and avoidance of escalation, while reaffirming Pakistan’s continued role in promoting stability and supporting efforts to prevent further deterioration of the situation.

It stated that the commemoration of Marka-e-Haq conveys a message of unity and resilience, and reflects harmony between the people, government, and Armed Forces of Pakistan, standing together as “Bunyanum Marsoos” against internal and external challenges.
The forum strongly condemned ongoing atrocities, extrajudicial killings, and demographic changes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reaffirming Pakistan’s diplomatic, political, and moral support for the Kashmiri people.
In his concluding remarks, the COAS & CDF directed commanders to maintain the highest levels of vigilance, operational readiness, and adaptability in response to evolving threats.
