Islamabad, Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir sent a powerful message to the enemies of Pakistan, declaring that “even ten generations of terrorists cannot harm Balochistan or Pakistan.” Addressing the inaugural Overseas Pakistanis Convention, the Army Chief reaffirmed the unshakable unity and strength of the nation in the face of terrorism and external threats.

“Do Pakistan’s enemies really believe that a handful of terrorists can decide our future?” he asked, before resolutely answering, “Even ten generations of them cannot harm this nation. Balochistan is our crown jewel and a vital part of our destiny.”

General Munir expressed deep admiration for the overseas Pakistani community, saying, “Today, I am deeply moved by your passion for Pakistan. Let me assure you, our love and commitment for you is even stronger.”

“You are not just ambassadors of Pakistan—you are the light that reflects this country’s greatness to the world,” he added.

Taking aim at those who portray migration as a loss, he remarked, “Those who speak of ‘brain drain’ must understand this is actually a ‘brain gain’—and you are the finest example of it.”

He urged the diaspora to pass on Pakistan’s story to the next generation—“the story on which our forefathers founded this great nation.”

The Army Chief emphasized that as long as the people of Pakistan stand by their armed forces, no enemy can cause harm to the country. “With the unwavering support of this proud nation, our military can overcome any challenge.”

He called for gratitude toward Pakistan’s abundant natural resources and stressed collective responsibility in ensuring national progress. “We are sending a united message today: whoever stands in the way of Pakistan’s development—we will remove that obstacle together.”

General Munir encouraged overseas Pakistanis to take pride in their identity: “Wherever you are, never forget that you come from a society rooted in a noble ideology and civilization.”

He added, “We, as Muslims and Pakistanis, do not bow before difficult circumstances. We have never yielded to adversity—and we never will.”

Paying tribute to the nation’s martyrs, he said, “Our people hold their martyrs in the highest regard. Their sacrifices are eternal, and we will never let them be forgotten.”

“Our mission is to take Pakistan to the heights envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam,” he affirmed. “Always hold your head high—you represent a powerful and proud nation.”

He reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering stance on Kashmir, declaring, “Kashmir was, is, and will always remain Pakistan’s jugular vein.”

Concluding his address, he expressed solidarity with the people of Gaza and noted, “The hearts of Pakistanis beat with the Muslims of Gaza.”

“The journey of Pakistan’s development is ongoing,” General Munir said. “The question is not when Pakistan will progress—the real question is how fast we can make it happen.”

The speech ended with the resounding slogan: “Pakistan Zindabad!” (Long Live Pakistan).
