Pakistan Will Not Tolerate Any Cross-Border Aggression, Says CNSC Gen Aamer Raza
Commander National Strategic Command (CNSC) General Syed Aamer Raza has said that Pakistan will not tolerate any cross-border aggression or violation of its borders.
He was addressing the passing out ceremony of the 154th PMA Long Course, 39th Technical Graduate Course, 73rd Integrated Course and 28th Lady Cadet Course at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul on Saturday. “Safeguarding the territorial integrity of our motherland is absolute and unyielding,” he said.
Congratulating the graduating cadets and their parents, the CNSC said the occasion marked the successful completion of foundational military training at “one of the world’s premier military academies” and would stay with the graduates for life.
Turning to the changing nature of warfare, General Raza said the rapid spread of disruptive technology had altered its character and dynamics and overturned traditional operational doctrines. Aware of these shifts, he said, the Pakistan Armed Forces had undertaken a swift multidomain transformation to strengthen the country’s military posture.
He added that recent geopolitical developments, set against the Middle East conflict, had again shown Pakistan’s pivotal strategic importance internationally. Pakistan’s decisive role in restoring regional stability, he said, was exemplified by the Islamabad Accord, which reflected its lasting commitment to peace and diplomatic de-escalation.
Warning against any hostile move, the CNSC said the country’s position “remains resolute and unambiguous”. “There is no space for conflict or war in a nuclearised environment, and any miscalculation will be met with a response far beyond the imagination or calculation of the initiator,” he said. The armed forces, he added, were ready to defend “every inch of our sacred motherland at all costs”.
General Raza said the country’s adversaries were trying to create a rift between the armed forces and the people through disinformation and narrative warfare. After its failure in Operation Sindoor, he said, the adversary was now trying to damage social cohesion and state infrastructure by stepping up proxy terrorism and sub-conventional warfare.
“Hostile elements actively attempt to exploit internal vulnerabilities across Pakistan to cultivate proxy instruments against our national unity,” he said, adding that the conflict was aimed directly at the security of the Pakistani people.
The CNSC reiterated that Pakistan is a peace-loving nation that has consistently prioritised restraint, dialogue and regional stability, and that the nation and its defenders had made supreme sacrifices for that cause. “However, let no adversary mistake our commitment to peace as weakness nor misinterpret our restraint as a lack of resolve,” he said. “We will neither tolerate cross-border aggression nor any violation of our sovereign borders.”
