KARACHI: The President of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI), Junaid Naqi, has
extended heartfelt congratulations to Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir on his elevation to
the prestigious and highest military rank of Field Marshal.
Naqi praised Field Marshal Asim Munir's relentless dedication, unwavering resolve, and courageous
leadership, describing the federal cabinet’s decision to elevate him as a source of immense pride for
both the Pakistan Army and the nation as a whole.
“The promotion to Field Marshal is a historic moment. Army Chief Asim Munir becomes only the second
military leader in Pakistan’s history to be conferred this highest honour, reflecting the will and
admiration of the people,” said Naqi.
He noted that the successful execution of recent military operations “Operation Haq” and “Bunyan-um-
Marsoos” under Field Marshal Asim Munir’s command were strategically remarkable and instrumental
in uniting a divided nation. “His elevation to Field Marshal is well-deserved recognition of his exceptional
military leadership, strategic vision, and unwavering commitment to national defence during some of
the most critical challenges in our history.”
Naqi further stated that Field Marshal Munir’s leadership had not only ensured tactical victories on the
battlefield but also enhanced Pakistan’s image on the global stage. “His guidance during difficult times
has dealt severe blows to adversaries and raised the morale of the nation,” he said.
He commended the valor of every soldier who took part in Operation Haq, emphasizing that from the
army chief to the frontline troops, all showed immense bravery and gave a strong response to cross-
border aggression. “The courage and sacrifices of our armed forces have been recognized globally, and
this historic promotion sends a clear message to our enemies.”
Junaid Naqi also welcomed the announcement of top civil awards for the martyrs and veterans of
Operation Haqp, saying, “Nations that honour their heroes never fade. Recognizing these brave souls is
both timely and necessary.”
Expressing optimism, the KATI President concluded, “We are confident that under the leadership of
Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Pakistan Armed Forces will achieve even greater stability and success,
and continue to safeguard the nation's integrity and future.”
