ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa inaugurated on Tuesday the Army Institute of Military History (AIMH) at a ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ).

Interestingly, the army museum was inaugurated when almost at the same time Senate chairman Mian Raza Rabbani was briefing lawmakers and members of civil society about the history of the Senate after inaugurating a museum.

The AIMH has been set up to record, archive, preserve and compile the history of the Pakistan Army and the institute will act as a centre of excellence for study of military history in the country.

The COAS expressed the hope that the institute would go a long way in preserving and keeping alive the glorious history and heritage of the Pakistan Army.
