The Appointment of Gen. Munir as Army Chief Is Positive for Pakistan
Lieutenant General Asim Munir was named the new chief of staff of the army on Thursday by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (COAS). The choice was made following weeks of heated rumor-mongering and alleged rivalry between political parties over who should run for the nation's most powerful office.
After Sharif made the statement, defense minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif informed reporters in Islamabad, "The procedure has been completed in accordance with the law and Constitution." Munir, the senior of the six generals under consideration for the job, would succeed Lt. Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa, who will step down on November 29 after six years in charge of the army.
The new chief has a long list of accomplishments. In September 2018, he was elevated to lieutenant general. He graduated from the 17th course of the Officers Training School in Mangla with the Sword of Honor. The two leading intelligence agencies in the nation, Military Intelligence (MI) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have had him as their director general in the past. The institution's rank and file highly esteem him for working tirelessly to advance
In addition, he will need to focus on a number of matters in the next days and weeks that have to do with Pakistan's relations with the rest of the globe.
Above all, Munir is anticipated to exert pressure to make sure Pakistan achieves the much-desired political stability that the nation has been longing for. This is important because investors are watching for evidence of stability before committing money and assets to Pakistan, which is now experiencing a severe financial crisis.
With the present political instability in Pakistan, investors' worries about Islamabad's prospects may lessen somewhat with Munir's arrival, particularly those of friendly nations with Pakistan.
