COAS terms NSP a great step

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Friday lauded the country’s first-ever National Security Policy (NSP) 2022-2026, saying that it would help ensure the national security of Pakistan.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the public version of the policy. “An inclusive development was inevitable for national security,” the premier said at the NSP launch ceremony in Islamabad.

General Bajwa, while informally talking to reporters on the occasion, said that the military security was only one aspect of national security, adding that the formulation of a comprehensive policy covering all aspects of national security was a “great step”. The army chief said the document would help in maintaining the national security of Pakistan.
