The army chief’s message on the occasion of New Year, shared by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), reiterated the armed forces’ resolve of national service and protection despite all odds.

“We take pride in our unwavering commitment to the people of Pakistan. Pakistan Army and the nation are one. No one can defeat the spirit of Pakistan,” Gen Munir said.

The military’s media wing said a challenging, yet momentous, year of 2023 was over. Pakistan armed forces wish a happy new year to the proud and honourable people of Pakistan. The year 2024 is of immense significance for Pakistan, both internally and externally.

Pakistan armed forces reinforce the patriotic spirit of serving the motherland, a land of immeasurable bounties and countless opportunities.

In line with the directive of the prime minister of Pakistan, the message said, “We stand with and pray for the resilient people of Palestine and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir and hope that the New Year will bring relief in their sufferings from tyrannical regimes.”
