ISLAMABAD, 07 September 2021, (TON): Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa said that Pakistan's armed forces had all required capabilities to fight all external and internal threats, and traditional and non-traditional wars.

He said while addressing a Defence Day ceremony held at the General Headquarters "if any enemy wants to fight us, it will find us ready at every moment and on every front."

He said that Pakistani armed forces were counted among the world's best. We have fought every enemy courageously and defeated all external and internal plots and above all, by achieving self-sustainability in defence capabilities, made the country's defence impenetrable.

"We have no doubt that the relationship between Pakistan Army and the nation is the strong shield that has always defeated the enemy's plots and black-handed tactics against Pakistan and this unity has always made us persevere."

Gen Bajwa said “whether it was the wars of 1965 and 1971, the Kargil fight or the war against terrorism, Pakistan's armed forces have proven in every situation that "we know how to defend our country in any condition and are ready to pay any price.”

He paid tribute to the martyrs and their families, saying the entire nation was indebted to them.
