Islamabad – In a significant development within Pakistan’s military leadership, Field Marshal Asim Munir is set to begin a fresh tenure following his appointment as the country’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF). The decision marks a historic restructuring move, aimed at strengthening joint-command operations and enhancing coordination among Pakistan’s armed services.
According to official sources, the new role of Chief of Defence Forces consolidates strategic oversight of the Army, Navy, and Air Force under a unified command structure. With this appointment, Asim Munir’s tenure will effectively restart, allowing him to continue leading Pakistan’s defence apparatus for a newly defined term.
Defence analysts say the creation of the CDF position reflects Pakistan’s broader efforts to modernize its military command model, aligning with practices used by several advanced militaries worldwide. The move is expected to bring improved strategic planning, faster decision-making, and greater inter-service harmony.
Government officials praised Field Marshal Munir’s leadership, citing his extensive experience in intelligence, counterterrorism, and strategic operations as key factors behind the appointment. The formal notification of his new term is expected to be issued shortly.
