National Strategic Command (NSC) Commander General Syed Aamer Raza has warned that Army Forces will not tolerate any cross-border aggression or violation of Pakistan's borders, and no compromise would be made on the country’s security and sovereignty. Addressing the 154th Pakistan Military Academy Long Course, 39th Technical Graduate Course, 73nd Integrated Course and 28th LadyCadet Course passing-out ceremony at Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul on Saturday, General Aamer Raza declared "Safeguarding the territorial integrity of our motherland is absolute and unyielding."

The NSC Commander said that the ceremony marked the successful completion of foundational military training at "one of the world's premier military academies". He felicitated the passing cadets and their parents, saying the occasion will forever remain etched in the memory of the graduates. The commander maintained that the rapid proliferation of disruptive technology has fundamentally altered the character and dynamics of modern warfare, dismantling traditional operational doctrines. "Fully cognisant of these shifting of paradigms, Pakistan Armed Forces have undertaken a swift multi-domain transformation to fortify our military posture," he maintained.

General Raza said that the recent shifts in geopolitics, against the backdrop of Middle East conflict, have once again underscored Pakistan's pivotal strategic importance on the international stage. "Our decisive role in restoring regional stability exemplified by the landmark Islamabad Accord which demonstrates our enduring commitment to peace and diplomatic de-escalation," he added. The NSC Commander warned enemies against any cross-border aggression, saying the country's stance "remains resolute and unambiguous".

"There is no space of conflict or war in a nuclearized environment, and any miscalculation will be met with a response far beyond the imagination or calculation of the initiator," he added. He reiterated that Pakistan stood resolutely as a peace-loving nation, consistently prioritising restraint, dialogue and regional stability, saying the nation and its defenders rendered supreme sacrifices in the its pursuit. "However, let no adversary mistake our commitment to peace as weakness nor misinterpret our restraint as a lack of resolve. We will neither tolerate cross-border aggression nor any violation of our sovereign borders," the NSC Commander made it crystal clear to Pakistan’s enemies.
