KARACHI, Jan 15: The chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat, said on Saturday that it was the moral obligation of PAF personnel to concentrate on their professional assignments and contribute to the mission of the air force.

He said this while speaking to the personnel of the PAF Korangi Creek base during his visit to the base for annual inspection. Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat said: "PAF Base Korangi Creek has been assigned the important task of transforming raw youth into confident and efficient airmen, capable of grasping their respective trades with ease and confidence, and skilfully applying their knowledge in practical situations."

He advised the trainees that they should be fully prepared to face the external threats and at the same time be vigilant against the enemy from within, reminding the trainees that religious extremism had gripped the entire world.
