COAS Asim Munir Urges Unity, Integrity in Civil-Military Governance

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir on Friday reaffirmed the indispensable role of Pakistan’s civil bureaucracy in national governance while addressing probationary officers of the 52nd Common Training Program (CTP) at the Civil Services Academy (CSA). The address was part of a broader initiative to foster institutional synergy and mutual understanding between civil and military leadership, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

In a powerful call for national unity, Field Marshal Munir stressed the need for inter-institutional cohesion, mutual respect, and a shared national purpose, especially in the face of growing internal and external challenges.

“Pakistan’s strategic and developmental goals demand a civil bureaucracy that is transparent, service-oriented, and committed to the highest standards of professionalism and patriotism,” he stated.

This engagement comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows recent diplomatic outreach, including Field Marshal Munir’s high-level meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on June 18 — the first time a Pakistani military leader was hosted by a U.S. president in such a manner.

🛡️ National Security and Strategic Vision

During his interaction, the army chief discussed a range of issues including national security imperatives, the role of Pakistan Armed Forces in safeguarding regional peace, and the strategic foresight required from all arms of state to preserve national stability.

The ISPR noted that the interaction formed part of an ongoing effort to broaden understanding among Pakistan’s future civil leaders about the realities and responsibilities of the armed forces, particularly in peace and conflict zones.

“The probationary officers remained attached with various army formations in peace-time and operational areas across Kashmir, KP, and Balochistan,” the ISPR stated. “These engagements provided the officers with hands-on insight into military strategy, operations, and national resilience.”

🤝 Civil Services Academy's Role and Officer Response

The officers of the 52nd CTP expressed deep appreciation for the opportunity to directly engage with the senior military leadership, gaining firsthand insight into the army’s operational readiness, strategic vision, and developmental contributions.

The session concluded with a question-and-answer segment focused on constructive dialogue, shared responsibility, and collective commitment to Pakistan’s progress.

🔍 Background Context

This renewed civil-military engagement follows a period of national introspection, as Pakistan faces economic stress, political challenges, and regional instability. COAS Munir has consistently underlined the need for institutional respect and synergy as foundational to national development.

His remarks underscore an evolving policy approach, where both civilian and military institutions are encouraged to collaborate, not compete, in driving forward Pakistan’s security, governance, and development agendas.
