WEBDESK: Field Marshal Asim Munir held a special dinner in Islamabad this week to celebrate and honour the unity of Pakistan’s leadership, armed forces, and citizens during a recent national conflict.
The dinner brought together key political figures, military officials, diplomats, and members of civil society in a rare moment of national togetherness. The event followed Field Marshal Munir’s recent promotion, a recognition of his leadership during the successful military operation that repelled Indian aggression earlier this year.
Speaking at the event, Field Marshal Asim Munir praised the strategic vision of Pakistan’s political leadership. He highlighted the coordination between the military and government as a major reason for the country’s strong response during the conflict. The presence of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reflected the importance of political unity at a time of national challenge.
Field Marshal Munir also acknowledged the vital role played by Pakistan’s youth, media, and professionals. He described them as the “steel wall” that stood firm against foreign disinformation and propaganda. He especially appreciated the efforts of scientists, engineers, and diplomats whose contributions were crucial during the crisis.
This dinner was not just about honouring the armed forces. Field Marshal Munir made it clear that the success during the conflict was a result of combined national efforts. From parliament to the press, and from military bases to scientific labs, he said every Pakistani played a part.
Many guests at the dinner saw it as a symbolic moment. The presence of leaders from different political parties sent a strong message of unity, even in times of political differences. Field Marshal Asim Munir’s call for continued cooperation and national solidarity was well received by all attendees.
